Your Consignor number is your first and last initials followed by the last 4 digits of your phone number. Ex: AB1234,YZ5678. No need to call for a number.
All clothing items must have a 3x5 index card safety pinned vertically onto garment.
The top 1" of your card should remain blank except for your safety pin.
Place card on the top right of each item with hanger facing to the left.
Take a moment to iron your clothing. Wrinkle free clothes sell much better.
If your clothes are not in good condition, please help us protect the integrity of our sale, and take it to Goodwill or another agency that takes donations.
Make sure the hanger hook faces to the left when looking at the item. Every year we have folks who have to switch their hangers, and this is very time consuming for them.
You do not need an appointment to drop your clothes off at receiving. There are busy times and slow times, but with the help of our wonderful volunteers, we do our best to get you in and out as quickly as possible.
When hanging pants, do not drape them over the hanger. They can be pinned securely to the hanger. They will sell much better this way, because they will not bunch to the side or fall from the hanger.
Index cards need to be taped securely to all non-clothing items.
Wire hangers are preferred, but we do accept plastic hangers as well. Wire hangers are often free for the asking from your local dry cleaner.
Price items in whole dollar increments (ex: $1.00, not $.75 or $1.50) If your item is not marked in a whole dollar amount, we will round down to the nearest dollar at time of purchase.
Each item must have only 1 size. Please no sizes like 10-12, 12-14 or S,M,L (except Maternity). Pick an appropriate size and use that number (when in doubt, it's usually best to choose the smaller size ex: shirt is size 10-12, mark it as a size 10).
Please indicate on the tag if an item is Juniors. (ex: Jr. 5). No sizes over Jrs 9 will be accepted for this sale.
If you do not want your items to be discounted 50% on Saturday, write ND under the price.
Please limit your 0-18 month items to a total of 100 per gender. This is always the biggest section and when they are tight on the racks they do not sell as well.
Tape your items well, with packing tape if possible. When a piece is sparated it will probably not sell, and we may never find the missing piece to return it to you.
Do not put tape on books, it will rip them when it is removed. Place in a zip lock bag or tie them together with string to group them.
Place bedding sets in extra-large zip-lock bags ("Big Bags") unless you have the original plastic that they came in. They will stay clean and together this way.
Please choose only shoes in excellent condition and do your best to make sure they will stay together throughout the sale. There's just not much demand for a single shoe. ;o) Zippered bags work well for this. Please tape the tag to the outside of the bag if using a zippered bag.
At drop off, please have your clothing items sorted by gender and size. This helps keep things moving smoothly for all involved.
Don't forget that on the Friday of our sale, consignors shop for half price all day long. This is one day before our public half price sale and is a big benefit to consignors.
