How do I tag my items?
Once you have registered and received your Consignor #, you can begin tagging your items.

• All clothing must be washed and hung on hangers.
• Sorted by size and gender before coming to the sale, will make droff-off faster.
• All toys requiring batteries must have batteries (we will check them at your drop-off appointment.)
• Any items that plug in will be checked at drop-off.
• Each item must have a information tag attached to it. You will enter your items into the computer and print out bar-coded tags paper at home.

Preparing Your Items

• All items must be clean and without stains
• Wash all clothing, bedding, cloth toys
• Wipe down all toys
• Remove dirt from shoes, etc.
• Inspect all items for stains, rips, tears, damage
• Clothing
• Clothing must be hung on hangers- no exceptions. Adult size wire hangers can be used even on infant clothing - they will fit fine.You can get these from your dry cleaner or purchase them at the Dollar store, your dry cleaner, or Walmart. You will not get the hangers back. 
• The minimum price on clothing is $1.00. You can combine items together on one hanger if needed.
• Only in-season clothing is accepted.
• Spring - only Spring/Summer clothing accepted - no heavy coats, fleece, sweaters, etc. accepted.
• Fall - only Fall/Winter clothing accepted - no shorts, water shoes or sleeveless garments accepted. Short sleeves are still accepted.
• We require you to use safety pins to affix your tags to clothing. NO STRAIGHT PINS
• Hang the garments on the hanger so that the hanger makes a question mark (?) when the clothing is lying on the table in front of you. See the clothing photo below.
• Shoes
• All shoes must be cleaned top and bottom.
• Shoes showing too much wear and tear will be rejected.
• Shoes notoriously lose their tags and become separated from their mates at the sale.We suggest attaching them together with zip ties, string/ribbin,safety pin, or if small enough in a zip lock bag.
• Toys
• Toys that require batteries must have working batteries.
• If the toys have loose parts, secure these extra parts in a plastic bag and securely tape them to the main toy. Shoppers are rough – they will separate toys, try them out, etc. If parts aren’t secured well enough, they will get lost and separated and make it difficult for your toys to sell.
• Tape your product information tag securely to the toy so that it cannot be torn off easily by the customer.

• Books
• Children’s books and parenting books are accepted.
• Books sold as groups should be sealed in a ziplock bag or taped together with painter's tape, so as not to rip the books. Scotch tape doesn't hold, and packing tape is damaging.
• Tape the product tag to the back cover of the book. Use regular scotch tape and only tape 2 sides of the tag down. This will prevent damaging the books' covers when removing the tag.
• Linens
• All linens and big crib sets must be hung OR in large plastic zippered storage bags

• Baby/kid equipment (e.g. strollers, bouncers, exersaucers, etc.)
• Instruction manuals are always helpful - include them when you can. Download them from the internet if you've lost them.
• Ensure everything is clean – trays, pads, bars, etc. – spit up and gunk get caught everywhere!
• If items have multiple pieces that might get separated (e.g. bouncy seats and their activity bars, the 7 pieces that come with your pack and play, cribs with 8 pieces), make sure that the product tag is on the main piece. You can print additional tags with your consignor #, so we know all the items are being sold together, or if mis placed we know how to located their owner.

Making Your Tags

• We have an online computer program for you to make your tags. You will input the items’ size, description, and price. Before printing your tags, you will also decide which item(s) you would like to discount or donate.
• Discount – all items are sold for full price on Thursday, Friday. Saturday is 50% off day. You can indicate which item(s) you would like discounted if it is still remaining on Saturday by clicking the discount box on the tagging program.
• Donating – for each item, you can click the donate box online if you want to donate your item rather than take it back home if it does not sell.
• You must print your tags (6 to a page) on paper that is 67lb or higher. 67lb paper is required because regular printer paper rips too easily and falls off items much easier than heavier stock paper. You can find this paper at Target, Walmart, or other office stores.

Pricing

• You must price in $.50 increments. Minimum price on items is $1.00.
• How you price your items is up to you. The best advise I can give is consider what YOU would pay if you were buying something used. Typically prices are 50-70% off the original retail price.

Putting Product Tags on Your Items

• Clothing
• We do require affixing your tags to clothing with safety pins.  Straight pins and staples are NOT acceptable.
• Toys
• We recommend clear packing tape to affix your tag to your item.
• Strollers, Bouncy Seats, Boppies, etc.
• Use safety pins to the items fabric.

Loss / Theft / Damage

• It is unfortunate, but loss, theft and damage do happen at the sale. Shoppers are not always careful. We do all that we can to prevent it but unfortunately it still occurs. It’s typically a very small percentage.
• If you are going to be upset if your items get lost/broken/stolen, then don’t bring them. (ex. don’t bring that breakable piggy bank or that ceramic lamp)
• As a consignor, you must sign a waiver stating that Cash In The Nursery is not responsible for loss, theft or damage for the items submitted to the sale.
