Having Computer Problems?

  • We will print your labels for you at the sale. Purchase index cards and follow the directions below.
  • Print our label request form. Fill out the form and bring it to drop-off. We will print off your labels and you will place them on your cards. So, please allow plenty of time for this!!!
  • Start writing an inch down from the top of a 3 X 5" white index card.  Leave the top space open for a safety-pin.  During checkout we will cut the tag off to save time.
  • Hand write the Size (do not use S-M-L-XL) and Description in the center of the card.
  • If you wish to donate an item that does not sell, put a "D" in the top right corner.  If you are donating your item we suggest that you let it go for half. Its better to get half than nothing! (Donated items go to Dyane's House and Motherhood thru Blessed Sacrament in Jonesboro.)
  • Put your price in the bottom right corner of your card.
  • If an item is found without a tag, it will be placed in Lost & Found.
  • Price your items competitively (minimum item price $3.00).
  • Remember, the better your items look, the quicker they will sell and more $$$ for you! Shoppers buy items that look the best.
  • IMPORTANT: If you change anything on your tag, please make a new tag. We will not accept any cross-outs etc. This helps to prevent confusion to shoppers and to us. It is for your benefit.



How to Determine Selling Price

  • What would you be willing to pay for an item if you were the buyer?
  • A general rule is to price an item 1/3 to 1/2 of the original or retail price.
  • Minimum item price is $3.00 with $1 increments (no change). You may combine items to meet the minimum requirement.
  • Price competitively.
  • If it is not worth $3.00 then do not bring it.
  • We have an abundance of 0-12 month clothing so you may want to price to sell. Price them lower, let them go half, etc.
     

Tagging Clothes

  • On garments, attach tag with a safety pin near the upper right side of the garment. All garments should be hung with the hook facing left. Please use safety pins to hang pants - do not use clothespins or fold them over the hanger. See diagrams at left. (click the pictures for larger images).

  • DO Not use ziploc bags for clothing or pajamas!! Our shoppers want to see what they are buying.

  • Safety pin sets together.

Tagging Shoes

  • Ziploc bags are best for shoes.
  • Place the tag on inside of the bag.
  • If shoes will not fit into ziploc, use ribbon or ziptie together. Pin cards securely to shoes.
  • Shoes must be in great condition -- no play shoes.
     

Tagging Bedding

  • Only accepting teen, children, baby themed bedding.
  • Bedding should be in a clear bedding bag or the XL or XXL size ziploc bags sold at discount stores. You may attach a picture of your bedding on the outside to show shoppers how it looks.
  • Attach tag to the outside of the bag with clear packaging tape. Remember, we have to remove the tag so do not tape over the information.
  • You do not have to put blankets in bags. Make sure tag is secured with safety pin.

Tagging Other Items

  • Books, videos & small items can be placed in ziploc bags with the tag inside the bag. For books, you may use masking tape to securely attach the tag to the outside.
  • Toys, equipment and any other item that can not have the tag attached with a safety pin should be taped to the item with clear packaging tape. Scotch tape does not hold up. Remember, we have to remove the tag so do not tape over the information.
  • Make sure that if a toy or equipment has pieces to secure all pieces to it. You may use ziploc bags for small loose pieces and attach it securely with clear packaging tape.
  • If you have an item (toy, furniture, etc.) that has multiple pieces, make a tag for each piece. Put the price on the main tag only. If your baby bed set has 3 pieces of furniture, you will make 3 tags. The largest piece will have the price and will be labeled 1 of 3. All other pieces, place XXX in price area and label 2 of 3, etc.
  • If you are selling a baby bed with the mattress, include that information on the tag.
  • DO NOT put more than 1 tag on any item.
