Items Needed for Tagging:
*White Cardstock or Business Card Paper (approx. 65/67 lb). Available at Walmart or at Office Supply Stores. If you only need a couple pieces, Staples & OfficeMax sell single sheets in their copy centers.
*Zipties/ Cable Ties . These can be found at Lowes, Home Depot, or Walmart in their electrical departments. The Dollar Stores also usually stock them. These keep your tags securely on your items.
*Scissors
*Clear Packing Tape for Hole Reinforcement
*Hole Punch
*Large blue Sharpie marker (optional: needed only if items are being reduced by 25%)
Tagging Instructions:
*Register first. Use the Register & Tag link at the bottom of the page. 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 be MS2367). Please also register on the Registration page of our website using the link above (this registration gives us additional needed information about who is dropping off/ picking up, etc).
*Enter Your Items
*Designate the price.
*Check the discount box if you want your item discounted on the last day. On the last day of the sale, items can be reduced 0%, 25%, or 50%. We do not negotiate prices and prices are not reduced for any reason until the last day. If you do not want your items discounted, do not check the discount box. If you do not check the discount box, the letters ND will automatically be printed to the right of the price on your tag. All tags without the letters ND will be reduced. If you want your item reduced by only 25%, circle the price with a BLUE large Sharpie style marker. All other tags without the ND or the blue circle will automatically be reduced by 50% on the last day of the sale.
*Check the donate box for items you wish to donate if they are not sold during the duration of the sale. A large letter X will appear in the bottom right hand corner of the tag if you choose this option. Items with a X will not be available during pick-up if you change your mind. If you are unsure whether or not you want to donate an item, do not mark the box- you can always choose to donate items during pick-up.
*Choose the size that best describes your item. Not applicable and See description are options if you do not see your size listed.
*Provide a description of the item. There are two lines available to enter information about the item. Please include color and brand if applicable. Also include tree widths on saddles. The more detailed the description, the better it will sell. Noting "New" or "Used Once" or other information is helpful. Detailed descriptions also help us reattach loose tags to the correct item so they can be sold.
*Choose a catagory for your item. This will will allow us to determine how much room we need to allocate for certain items coming to the sale. If your item does not fit into one of the catagories provided, choose "Miscellaneous".
*If you have multiples of the same item (ex: 6 red buckets), you can use the power tagger button to create numerous tags at once.
*Print your tags. Use only WHITE cardstock paper unless directed otherwise (consignors with over 250 items, please contact us). In order for your items to be sorted correctly, the color of the paper is very important.
Once your tags have been printed, they will need to be reinforced. We recommend using clear packing tape over the area marked on the printed tag. DO NOT tape over the barcode. Attach the tag using a ziptie/ cable tie. Please see tagging tips for suggestions on securing the tag to the item.
Please bring an inventory list of your items to the sale at drop-off. You can easily print your inventory by going to Manage Inventory. Choose Reports (bottom of blue box on right hand side), Inventory Reports, Print Report.
(Note: Even if you have registered on the Equestrian Exchange website or sold with us in the past, if you have never printed bar code tags before, you will need to register as a NEW Seller)
IMPORTANT! The actual tag that is attached to your item & is scanned at our register determines the price you are paid. If you change a price, please be sure to reprint the tag and attach it to your item before drop-off. Prices and any applicable discounts listed on tags are binding.
