preparing your items to sell

How Should I Prepare My Items?

Clothing

Hang ALL clothing on a hanger. This includes onesies, jeans, shorts, etc. The hanger should face left so that it looks like a question mark(?).

Hanging Items with several pieces should be safety pinned together on a hanger, or if on separate hangers they should be rubber banded together. Use one tag only.

If you cannot find enough pant hangers for your pants, you can often bend wire hangers to fit snugly in pants. Do not stretch your clothing over a wire hanger. It distorts the clothing and looks unattractive to a buyer.

Hangers can be picked up from stores like Old Navy. Dry cleaners will often give away wire hangers free or for very cheap. Also ask friends, family, and neighbors to save hangers for you from their new purchases.

Other Items

Tape the top of your tag to the item with clear packing tape. Do NOT tape the bottom portion of the tag as this will be removed during checkout. Do NOT tape your tag inside a bag. Use packing tape as any other tape will fall off easily. Please do use painter's tape for books. If you do not have painter's tape, there will be some available at drop off for you to use.

Use ziploc bags for any items with small pieces. Tape the bag shut with packing tape. Tape the top of tag to the outside of the bag.

Bedding

Bedding can easily be packaged in the XLarge Ziploc bags. These can be found at Wal Mart. Bedding put in a box gets easily separated by shoppers.

Shoes

Shoes should be tied together with string, ribbon or zip ties. Do not tape the tag to your shoes. It is almost guaranteed the tag will fall off and be lost. Please pin the tag to the lace or the tie that you use to keep them together. Infant shoes may be put in a clear ziploc bag, however they must still be tied together in the bag. The top of the tag can then be taped to the bag. No shoe boxes please!

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Click on Register Here on our website (make sure the mailing address you enter is the same one that you want your final payment mailed to)

2. Sort all of your items by clothing, toys, equipment, etc. (Regarding clothes...sort by gender and size)

3. When sorting is completed, enter your items into the system. Go to the tab "Enter items". By sorting prior to entering, you will save a lot of time because you will only have to enter the price and description for similar items.

4. If you need to edit anything, go to the "Manage Inventory" screen. Here you can print inventory reports, mass edit items or individual items, and also see a Projected Settlement Report based on the items you have entered in the system.

5. Printing can be performed at any time, at intervels or all at once when your finished entering your items. You will just need to enter the print code that we will provide to you.   You will receive this print code when your registration is complete.   Please make sure your tag paper consists of only white. You may use cardstock paper (at least 60# or 65# cardstock), or regular white paper is allowed also.

6. Once your tags are printed, make sure your bar code is clear, and not excessively dark. (Many times the "normal" setting is best to used when printing bar codes), then cut on the lines and safety pin to left shoulder or right side if the clothing is facing you. When applying tape to the toys, equipment, etc. please do not put tape on the bar code. Just place one piece of tape along the top edge of the tag so the bottom part can be torn off.
