How do I secure small pieces with Toys or Equipment?

Place them in a ziploc bag and then seal the ziploc with clear packing tape. This is important! Place the bar code label inside the bag and write your consignor number and the price on the outside of the bag.





When I sell items in a ziploc bag, how do I attach the price tag?

First, be sure to affix the barcode label to the string tag; do not stick it directly onto the item or the bag. Then attach the string tag to the item and tag inside the bag. Make sure the tag is visible. We recommend also writing your consignor number and the price on the outside of the bag (or you can use masking tape for this).

How do I carry my clothes while I am shopping?

We suggest you bring a laundry basket or tote, a large shopping bag, or a stroller. All large bags will need to be checked at the door. If there is enough space, we may provide shopping carts. Please check with us before the sale.





What if my item is not worth your minimum price guideline of $4.00?

If it meets our "excellence quality" standards, then group it together with one or two more like items. Pin them together on a hanger, or group them in a ziploc bag and put one price for the entire group.





Should I wash and iron my clothes?

Clothes with odors, pet hair, or those that are wrinkled do not sell well! Please do what is necessary to make your clothes look clean and nice. Remember, the better they look, the better they sell!





Can I enter additional batches?

Yes, you may enter additional batches. Consignors are charged the consignor fee of $10 per consignor number (not per batch), up to 1,000 items.
