Drop-Off Instructions

You will drop off all your items at the venue, at your assigned drop off time! Please sign up for one ASAP!

• Arrange clothing according to sex and size (rubber band or twist tie sizes together) before your drop off. This makes it MUCH easier for us, and speeds up your drop off time!  You will need to sort them in sizes and gender at drop off if you did not do so ahead of time! So save your self some time and us too!!


• Bring items already priced & on hangers. Make sure your tags are properly formatted and attached as the instructions show. You must have everything on its hangers by check-in.


• Please bring your items in cardboard boxes. If you bring your items in rubbermaid bins, plan to unload them and take them back with you, as we don't have the storage space we used to. Your unsold items will be placed into boxes or IKEA bags for you to pick-up.  When you pick up and go through your items, you will load them back into your OWN bins you will bring to pick up. If you are planning to donate all of your unsold items then disreguard this instruction.

Pick Up Instructions

You may pick-up any time between 4:00pm and 6:00pm  Sunday, April 29th,2012!  Please feel free to help sort items if we are not finished when you arrive.

All items that are not picked up by 6:00pm, will be donated to our charity! 

We must be strict with the pick up times, as the space needs to be cleaned and emptied.

How to Determine Your Selling Price

All items are priced in $0.50 increments and a minimum price of $1.00 per item.

Best Guideline: Think about what you would be willing to pay for the item if you were in the buyers shoes. If you would pay a particular price, someone else probably would too! Ask yourself, "What would I pay for this?"

Another Option: Take 25% of the original retail price and work up or down from there. This gives you a thinking range. If it is an item that is highly desirable like Abercrombie, Polo, Gymboree, Baby Lulu, Tommy Hilfiger, etc. you can go up from the 25% of original value, considering the condition of the item. If it is an item that is still in good shape, but from Target, Wal-Mart, etc. you might need to stay around that price. Then, after determining this price, ask yourself, "Would I pay $xx for this?" or "Would I pay more than $xx for this?" Please call or e-mail me if you are having a hard time deciding on the price and I can help you!

How to Create Your Tag

Click for Item Entry and Tag Printing

The tags need to be printed on WHITE CARDSTOCK and printed with BLACK INK ONLY!!! Since you are printing the barcode scan on the actual tag it is IMPERATIVE that you follow the instruction GUIDELINES, or you will be denied drop off of your items! Inventory mode will close SATURDAY April 21nd at 7:00am! You will NOT be able to enter anymore items into your inventory after this time!!! Start NOW tagging your items.. and creating your inventory!!

When printing your tags set the printer on a lower ink setting, meaning not 100%!  The lighter barcodes scanned perfectly!  The heavy ink ones were much more difficult and had to be hand entered:o( Please help us as we are here to help you!!

You can call me with any questions 503-849-3308.

Where to Attach the Tags:

All clothing must be on hangers with the hanger facing to the left as illustrated.

 
SAFETY PIN the card into the garments left seam allowance. If it's pants, see placement of tag, in the picture above. NO STRAIGHT PINS!!!!

NOTE: You can also use a garment tagging gun…this is much faster than safety pins and works great for a large number of clothing items all at once. Be careful when using the tagging gun as it will leave a hole in the item. Tag into the garments  seam, (NOTE TAG PLACEMENT ABOVE). 

Have these tags on the outside of the clothing, in other words don’t hide the tag inside the clothes, we need to see it, to efficiently check people out!

When sizing your items, S, M, L, XL is only acceptable for MATERNITY.

Children's clothes should be sized with number sizes, i.e. 12 M, 2T, 5 etc. NOT S, M, L

To reduce check in time, try to have your items sorted by size and gender (rubber band or twist tie sizes together).
