Handwritten Tagging

*Please note that we now have a computer bar coded tagging system available. This will allow you to track your sales each night plus simplify drop off & pick up.

Please see the Barcode Tagging page for our preferred method of tagging.

Please follow the instructions below only if you do not have access to a computer & printer.

Tagging Instructions:

1. Pre-register. Your consignor number is your first and last initials and the last 4 digits of your phone number. (ie Mary Smith at 555-2367 would label all her tags in the left top corner MS2367)

2. Items must be tagged with manilla tags with reinforced holes (Available at office supply stores. Ask for shipping tags. Please do not attach with wire).

3. On the top right corner of the tag write the measurement of the item (example: 17" Wide)

4. Write the price, using LARGE number, in the center of the tag. Consignors are responsible for pricing their own items. You can choose whether or not you want your item discounted on the last day of the sale.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!

*Price written in BLACK ink- item never discounted, stays that price throughout the entire sale even on the last day

*Price written in BLUE ink- price to be reduced 25% on last day

*Price written in RED ink- price to be reduced 50% on last day

5. On the bottom of the tag, write a detailed description of the item.

6. If you wish to donate your item at the end of the sale if it doesn't sell, mark a large X in the right hand bottom corner and check the donation column on your inventory sheet.

7. Attach your tag securely to the item. Zipties/ Electrical ties are best (found in the electrical department in Walmart/ Home Depot/ Lowes)

8. Make an inventory list of all the items you are consigning. Please put the corresponding inventory number on your tags directly behind your seller id (Example: MS2367 is bring 12 items. For her 7th item, she would mark her tag on the item MS2367-7.) This helps speed up check-in and check-out since we do not need to hunt for the item on your inventory.

Please see Tagging Tips for suggestions on securing the tag to the item.
