Guidelines:

  • You must follow directions or you items may not pass inspection at drop off.
  • Everyone must use the printed cardstock for their tags.
  • Unacceptable items will be returned to you and you must take those items to your vehicle before putting out the items that passed inspection.
  • There is a $5 consignor fee that is deducted from your check.
  • Clean and press all garments.
  • All clothing must be on hangers-even onesies.  Smaller clothing may be grouped together or hangers.
  • Only 5 pairs of shoes accepted. (To receive special permission to bring more than 5 pairs of shoes, please email Lisa at brodiebunch@bellsouth.net )
  • Only 10 items of maternity clothing per person.
  • No stained clothing or clothing with holes accepted.
  • All snaps, buttons, and zippers must work.
  • If batteries are needed, they must be included with the item.
  • Clean all toys and equipment.
  • Items must include all parts.
  • Games and puzzles must have all pieces.
  • Small toys may be grouped together in ziplock bags.
  • For toys or equipment that include small parts:  bag the small parts such as nuts, bolts, screws or toy parts in a baggie.  Put a tag with consignor number and description in the baggie.  These parts will be kept at the register until the item is sold.

Tagging Guidelines:

  • RULE CHANGE!!!  Everyone must Registration deadline is Drop Off Day! and enter the information for their item tags.
  • *All tags should be printed on white card stock.*
  • Use only silver medium or large safety pins.  (No tiny gold or straight pins accepted.)
  • PLEASE HELP US WITH THIS!!!  By placing a "D" on your tag, it lets us know that you want to donate your item if it doesn't sell .  (This helps us tremendously at breakdown.  Many times consignors plan to donate their items and forget to put a “D.”  When that happens, our breakdown team has to sort those items instead of taking them directly to the donation area.  Please consider donating to our wonderful charities.
  • RULE CHANGE!!!  Safety pin card directly to item.  (Do not punch holes for the safety pin to go through.)
  • Hang garment with the hanger facing the left.
  • Pants should be safety pinned to the top of the hanger on each side.  Pin them close enough to the center that they do not slide around.
  • Shoes must be in excellent condition.
  • Double tagging - This is an optional tagging guideline. This is not a requirement at this time. To help cut down on lost and found items, we are suggesting that you double tag your items by writing your consignor number and price on a piece of tape and taping this to the back side of the garment's inside tag. This way if your tag gets separated from your item, there will be a second tag for us to look at.

Tag Placement:

  • Toys/Baby Equipment:  Attach card to item or baggie with packing tape.
  • Clothing:  Attach card to the upper right front of the garment.  SEE DIAGRAM BELOW!!!

                  

Pricing Guidelines:

  • You set the price, however a good pricing rule is to take off at least 75% of what it sold for new.
  • Use $1 increments.
