You can register for any sale when registration is opened. Generally, registration will be open two months prior to each sale.

Before registering for any of our sales, please be aware of the following:

• All consignors must bring a minimum of thirty (30) quality items.  Acceptable items are listed on each sale page. Consignors will earn a percentage of their sales from their consigned items, also outlined on each sale page.  We also charge a $15.00 participation fee which is payable in advance via PayPal and is NON-REFUNDABLE.
• All consignors are responsible for agreeing with the terms of participation on the Consignor Agreement. (You will be asked to agree with the terms of participation before you can complete your registration.)
• All consignors must read the information on the website about PRICING TIPS and TAGGING & PREPARING your items in order to make participation in the sale smooth and easy for everyone.
• The deadline to enter (or make changes) to inventory for any sale, and to schedule drop off appointments will be outlined on each sale page.  Consignors must sign up for an appointment and drop their items off at each sale location. Please visit your consignor login homepage after registering to select a drop off appointment.
• Any consignor who registers but fails to unregister one month prior to the sale (if they find they can’t participate for any reason) will be blocked from registering for the next sale.  This will also apply to consignors who fail to show up for their scheduled drop-off appointment without having made prior arrangements.  Note: There is no penalty for registering (and then unregistering) one month prior to each sale; HOWEVER, the prepaid consignor fee will not be refunded.
• Consignors shop early (before the general public). Dates and times for early shopping times will be detailed on each sale page. Wristbands will be given out at drop off.

As a consignor, YOU control your pricing!  But where do you start?  How should you price your items?

A few guidelines that you might find useful:

• TIP #1: For large items, check their retail price online (ie: Amazon, Target, etc.) and price at approximately 1/3 retail value.
  You can also check eBay/Facebook marketplace/online clothing swaps to see what your item is going for in the “resale” market.
• TIP #2:  Consider attaching a print out (or ad) from an online retail store (like Target) that shows what your item cost NEW.
  This is helpful for both the consignors and the buyers.  Often times a more detailed description of the item is included in the print out (more than what you are able to fit on the tag) and it will show buyers how much they are saving!
• TIP #3: Sell clothing items as sets, whenever possible.
  Match a t-shirt and shorts, or a top with a skirt. If you only have tops, consider putting two or three together.
• TIP #4: Price items to sell that you really want to “move.”
  Consider checking the DISCOUNT option so your items will go on sale for 1/2 price at the end of the sale.  Also consider checking DONATE if you really don’t want to take your items home with you.

It is very important to review & follow the guidelines on this tab outlining Tagging & Preparation of your sale items. If you have any questions about getting your items ready for sale that are not covered on this tab, please contact us.

­Please read and review the Consignor Agreement at the time of registration and accept the terms before registering and entering items.

• ALL CLOTHING ITEMS MUST BE STAIN-FREE AND ODOR-FREE!
  Please wash your clothing and inspect it before hanging it and bringing it to the sale. Any clothing with stains, or with missing buttons, rips, holes, etc. will be returned to you at drop off.
• Please CLEAN ALL ITEMS, INSERT WORKING BATTERIES, and CHECK PUZZLE/GAME PIECES before getting started.

  
  Please Note: Consignors with a high number of items that are rejected at check in, pulled from the sales floor, or returned during the sale for quality will be blocked from participating in future sales. Thank you in advance for helping us to maintain our high quality standards on items we accept for consignment!

Supplies You Will Need

• White or light colored card stock preferred. Printer paper can also be used IF AND ONLY it is completely secured clear packing tape. (the barcode can be covered with the packing tape)
• Wire hangers ONLY! No plastic hangers whatsoever will be allowed! (if you are in a pinch, we have a limited amount of hangers for sale. please contact us.)
• Clear packing tape (no scotch tape), plastic zip or “slide loc” bags (quart, gallon and/or 2.5 gallon), and zip ties (also sold as “cable ties).
• Safety pins. (One inch or larger; no straight pins or small gold safety pins, please.)
  

Procedure for Entering Items

• It helps if you gather similar items together in piles beside your computer before you start entering.
• You are now ready to log in to your consignor account and choose “Work with Consigned Inventory” under Activities.
• Click on “Add Items.”
• Be ready to answer the following questions about each item you will enter: CATEGORY (from pull down menu; won’t display on tag). PLEASE BE SURE TO ENTER ALL CLOTHING ITEMS UNDER CLOTHING NOT UNDER ACCESSORIES. WE DO NOT COLLECT SALES TAX IN COLUMBIA COUNTY ON CLOTHING AND SHOE PURCHASES UNDER $110 AND IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU SELECT THE CORRECT CATEGORIES FOR YOUR ITEMS!

Sample Tag

• 1010 is your Consignor ID Number
• SIZE (from pull down menu) ie: SMALL
• CATEGORY (from pull down menu) ie: Clothing
• DESCRIPTION OF YOUR ITEM (two lines, you fill in)
• DONATE: YES (if you wish to donate your item.) This will appear as DONATE: NO if you do not. Check as appropriate when entering your items.
• ITEM: Indicates Item Number (ie: 6)
• PRICE (you decide, in whole dollar increments).
• DISCOUNT? (Again, check, as appropriate.) On the tag, donated items will have the word DONATE: YES in the bottom left corner. The tag will also indicate whether the item is to be discounted (1/2 price) during the discount day or days of the sale.
• Tags print 6 to a page.

Helpful Tips

• Please give some thought to these categories before you start entering items! Visit our Pricing Tips page for some general guidelines on pricing your items to sell. Use the two lines of description to your advantage! Is your item “NWT” (New with Tags), “Hardly Worn,” “Too cute!” SELL IT!
• Remember that items marked DISCOUNT will go on sale at 1/2 price during our advertised “Half Price” day or days of the sale. If you don’t want to have your item discounted, please don’t check this box.
• If you wish to have your item(s) DONATED to charity at the end of the sale (rather than pick them up), please remember to check this box as well.
• Please see the ACCEPTED ITEMS on each sale page for more information and our clothing guidelines.
• PLEASE: There is a $4 minimum for items that are hung.

Procedure for Printing

• Insert your card stock and or paper (IF AND ONLY IF THE PAPER TAG IS SECURED WITH CLEAR PACKING TAPE)
• Click on WORK WITH CONSIGNED INVENTORY and scroll down to PRINT TAGS.
• Remember to disable pop up blocker on your browser or your tags won’t print!
• Print all tags or just certain tags. Tags will print 6 to a sheet.
• Cut tags carefully with scissors, or a paper cutter.
• If you make a mistake while printing your tags, please print a new tag. Do NOT print on both sides of the card stock; please print on one side ONLY.

Procedure for Hanging/Affixing Tags
Once you have printed your tags you are now ready to affix them to your items.

CLOTHING ITEMS:

• Hang clothing on a WIRE hanger ONLY, with hook pointing to the left (like a ?). Bend the hanger sides DOWN (not “back”) for smaller sizes, if needed. For single items, its preferable to also place safety pins on the shoulders, securing the item to the hanger.
• Secure all buttons, snaps, zippers, etc.
• ALL TAGS ARE PLACED ON THE LEFT SHOULDER OF THE GARMENT (OR THE RIGHT HAND SHOULDER IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT IT.) Do not place tags on the hanger. Do NOT tag through the clothing itself, as this will leave a hole. Pin the shoulder of the garment to the hanger, especially if the item may slip off the hanger easily.
• Remember:  Only ONE ITEM or ONE OUTFIT per hanger!If you have two pieces, (ie: two t-shirts, or two pairs of pants) that is acceptable, as long as all items can fit on one hanger, with only one tag. To hang two items correctly you will need to hang or pin the first item, then turn the hanger over (“flip it”) and pin the second piece to the back of the hanger, facing out. This will allow us to inspect both items at drop off, and helps the shoppers as well!
• Consider putting a piece of MASKING TAPE on the inside collar or waistband with your consignor number, item number and price. Again, if a tag becomes separated from an item, this information will help us find the item for you in the computer quickly and sell it!

NON-CLOTHING ITEMS:

• We recommend that you place books, lamps with shades, or any other items that can become separated in a large zip loc bag and tape the top; affix tag with tape, but do not tape over the bar code. Use packing tape only (scotch tape doesn’t stick) and you may also pin the tag if you like. Consider using a piece of masking tape with consignor number/item number/price in case the tag becomes lost.
• Use enough tape to secure the tag on your items, but be careful that they won’t be “ruined” when tape is removed.
• PLEASE DO NOT BAG SHOES! Review our procedure on how shoes should be prepared for the sale:
  • Shoes should be zip tied together (use a hole punch and place the tag in the middle of the zip tie.)
  • Shoes should be CLEAN, DRY, and the EXACT SAME SIZE.
  • You will also need to include your consignor number, item number, price, and whether the shoes are DISCOUNT/DONATE on masking tape and affix tape to the bottom of both shoes OR on the inside heel or bottom of the shoes. This will help us sell them for you in the event that the tag becomes separated.
  • Whenever possible, shoes should be zip-tied together.
• Hats, scarves, etc. should have the tags affixed with a safety pin (again, through the seam, top or tag as not to damage the item), and then bagged. Seal the bag with heavy duty packing tape. We will scan the bar code through the bag or open it at checkout, if needed.
• Remember, there is a $2 minimum on all items. All items should be priced in $1 increments ($2, $3, $4, etc.) If you wish to sell something for $1 you should check “discount” or group your items (ie: books) together.
