Tagging Your Items

• Please wash or dry clean items as needed.
• Ironing clothing is recommended (this does make a difference).
• Close zippers and buttons.
• Please hang all clothing items on hangers with the hook facing left (like a question mark).

Create a tag for each item as follows:

• Use BEIGE masking tape about 2 inches long (If you DO NOT want your items sold for ½ price at 11am, use BLUE masking tape/painter’s tape).
• We recommend using ball-point pen.
• In LEFT corner, write your seller code. Your code is the first letter of your first name and the last four digits of your phone number.
• In the MIDDLE, write the size of the item.
• On the RIGHT, write the price, omitting the “$” symbol. Add a description below if helpful.
• When tagging a garment, place tags on the RIGHT of each piece (over the heart).

Helpful Hints:

-We suggest pricing your items at ¼ of retail, but consider age and condition. When in doubt, consider what you would pay for this item at a consignment sale.
-Please do NOT use pins. (We’re trying to avoid them.)
-Carefully tag books and boxes.
-Put small items in Ziploc bags with double layer of tape on outside (it’s very hard to get tape off plastic).
-We are not responsible for lost tags.
-Keeping the tags about the same size helps make sure no tags get lost and makes it easier for them to be added up (and to make sure you get all your money!)
-Group outfits together, for example a shirt with a pair of shorts. Put each item on its own hanger and twist-tie them together with one price tag.
-Look on Ebay and Craigslist for like items to make sure yours is priced appropriately.
-For fuzzy items or for Ziploc bags, put on two pieces of tape (one over the other) so we can get the price tag off and make sure you get the money.
-If you’d like to type your tags - print them out on small address labels (1” x 1 ¾” or smaller) and put on top of a piece of masking tape. The labels stick well enough to the masking tape, but not to the fabric. Please remember, we are not responsible for lost tags.
-Put loose toys (like finger puppets or Matchbox cars) in a Ziploc bag. Please do not have an open box or bag of small items. People like to buy just one and we don’t know to whom to credit the money.
