Tagging Instructions
Below is a brief overview of how to tag your items for our sale, for detailed instructions, tips & priceing guidelines please download and read "Tagging Instructions & Pricing Guidelines". As always, please feel free to call or email us with any questions related to tagging and/or prepping your items.
TAG PLACEMENT: Tags for clothing and other similar items should be attached to one of two places depending on whether you are using safety pins or a tagging gun.
- Safety Pins – Attach tags to the upper right hand corner of the item (when you're looking at the garment). For shirts, this is the shoulder area.
- Tagging Gun – Tags should be attached to the inside "tag" on a garment or through the seam of garment to avoid damage.
- Tags may also be secured to items with plastic zip ties whenever possible,(i.e. through belt loops of pants, grommets of shoes, buckles on belts, toys, etc.)
HANGING ITEMS: Hangers should face left so that the hanger resembles a question mark (?) when you are looking at the item.
SHOES: Attach tags and keep shoes together using "zip" ties, ribbon or string. Shoes can also be put in Ziploc bags with tag attached to the outside of the bag.
BOOKS/VIDEOS/DVDS: Tags can be attached to these items with tape as long as removing the tape will not cause damage to the item. We reserve the right to discount any item damaged by tape removal. Do not tape over the bar code on your tags, the scanner will not be able to read your tag if tape covering the barcode
BABY EQUIPMENT/FURNITURE/TOYS/OTHER ITEMS: Tags should be attached in a secure manner with cording, string, tape or nylon cable or "zip" ties. Keep in mind that we may need to remove the tag at check out so make sure it and will not cause damage to the item
TOYS: Toys must be in excellent condition. Electronic toys must have batteries when consigned to insure the item is in full working condition. Toys without working batteries will be removed from the sales floor. Toys that have small or loose parts should be secured in a Ziploc bags and attached securely to the toy. Be sure to write your consignor ID and item number on any Ziploc bags in the event they are separated from the toy.
