1.   Your Seller Tags:

a)   After you register we will send you an email with an attached file.  That file will contain two different pages of seller tags.  Each page has been prepared with your personal consignor number and barcode label imprinted.  Use this file to print your personal seller tags for labeling all your items.  View this file using Adobe Reader software.  If you have Adobe Reader on your computer just double click the attached file and it will open automatically.  If you do not have Adobe Reader, download it for free from the web site www.adobe.com and install it on your computer.

b)   Open the attached file.  Notice that one seller tag has a “Half Price Sale” graphic image in the lower left hand corner (Figure 1); the other page is blank in that area (Figure 2).  Please use the “Half Price Sale” tags to label all items you want included in our Half Price Sale on Saturday.  Blank tagged items will be sold at full price during the Half Price Sale hours.

c)   By cutting along the dashed lines of printed pages you will produce six seller tags for labeling all the items you sell. 

 2.   Our barcode labeling and tagging system:

a)  We have reduced human keying errors by using this efficient barcode labeling, tagging, and scanning system.  This offers you a more reliable tracking system of all your sales dollars.

 3.   Printing, preparing, and marking your seller tags:

a)  Print all seller tags on either non-white or white cardstock.  Use white cardstock if you wish to donate unsold items to a local charity (Figure 4).  Use non-white cardstock if you wish to pick up your items after the sale (Figure 3).

b)  Please DO NOT use regular printer paper when printing seller tags.  Paper tags frequently get ripped off while handling the items or during the sale. 

c)   You may choose to print your seller tags with your own printer.  This is ok as long as the barcode label prints clearly on the cardstock and can be scanned during the sale.  If your printer does not work well with cardstock we suggest you print each page of the provided file on regular paper and take that copy to your local printing service to have them copy onto the appropriate colored cardstock.  This step is important as our cash registers scan these barcodes to insure accurate accounting of all your sales.

d)   Use scissors to cut each printed cardstock sheet along the dotted lines to produce six individual seller tags. 

e)   You must hand enter upon each seller tag, in clear bold lettering, two key pieces of information:

1)  Item Description:  Clearly enter a brief item description on the tag (Figure 5).

2)   Price:  Enter the dollar amount for which you wish to sell the item (Figure 6).  Any dollar amount may be entered on the seller tags.  

f)    Each seller tag shows a place to punch a hole.  This hole provides a way for you to attach the label to the article.  Use a hole punch to make the hole (Look for text “Hole Punch” in Figure 6).

4.   Attaching seller tags and preparing your merchandise for the sale:

a)   Attach one seller tag to each item you will sell.  IN ALL CASES DO NOT TAPE OVER THE BARCODE LABEL WHEN APPLYING THE LABEL TO YOUR MERCHANDISE. IT MAY CAUSE OUR SCANNERS TO MISREAD YOUR LABEL.

b)   To prepare and label your clothing items please follow these instructions:

1)   Clothing items may be on any type hangers.  Face the hook toward the left of the clothing.

2)   Attach pants to the top of the hanger with safety pins.  2-piece outfits go on one hanger with the shirt on the top and the pants behind the hanger.  Please secure all items that may slip with safety pins.  Small clothing items should be pinned to the front of the hanger to assure it does not slip off.

3)   All items must be tagged with seller tags in a prominent place on the front of your clothing for buyers to easily see.  Attach tags to clothing using cable ties.  Cable ties can be purchased at most hardware stores and places like The Dollar Tree store or Wal-Mart in packages of 100.  They can be found in the hardware section of the store.  Put the cable tie through a button hole, belt loop or clothing label, then fit it through the hole you punched in the seller tag.  If there is no way to attach a cable tie to your clothing without damaging it you may use a safety pin to attach the tag.

c)   To prepare and label your kids shoes please follow these instructions:

1)   All shoes must be attached together using a cable tie (Figure 8) or placed in a clear plastic sealable bag (Figure 9).  

2)   If you use a cable tie to attach the shoes together use another cable tie to attach the seller tag to a shoe lace or lace hole.

3)   If you use a clear plastic sealable bag to hold the shoes together attach the seller tag by taping the tag to the outside of the bag.  Please DO NOT tape over the barcode label.

d)   To prepare and label all other toys, nursery items, strollers, backpacks, and car seats please follow these instructions:

1)   The best way to apply the seller tag is by using a cable tie around any loop or hole of the item where it can be strung.  Punch out the hole on the seller tag and string the cable tie through the hole and through the loop or hole on the article.

2)   Alternately, find a prominent location on the item that will not be marred by tape and tape the seller tag onto the merchandise.  Please DO NOT tape over the barcode label.

3)   Put smaller items in sealable baggies so all pieces stay together.  Tape the seller tag on the outside of the bag and tape the bag shut. 

5.  Item drop off before the sale:

a)   Drop off hours are Thursday, February 23rd from 2 p.m. - 6 p.m.  You may bring your tagged items to room 300 A, B, and C at the South Towne Expo Center any time during those hours.  Volunteers will check in your items to verify they are in good condition.  You will place your items in the appropriate locations in the show room according to size and type of item.  Please budget enough time to help with this process.  Look for signs and volunteers to assist you to locate the appropriate place to stock your items.

6.  Item pick up after the sale: 

a)   All items you wish to keep after the sale must be picked up at the South Towne Expo Center on Saturday, February 25th between the hour of 7 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.  All items remaining after 8:30 p.m. will be donated to a local charity, including items with non-white tags as we have no way to transport and store items for you.  Those not able to pick up at this time will need to make arrangements with a friend or family member to pick up unsold items.  Please send a note with them confirming they are to pick up your items.  Please include your Consignor ID number and your registration name.
