-

No, bring it all. Just remember
clean, good working condition.
-
How do I price items?
As a
general rule you will want to price items at about 1/4 to 1/3 of their
original retail price. (unless you really want it gone, then .50
or $1.00) If
your item is a name-brand or boutique-brand such as Oshkosh, Gymboree,
The Children's Place or other higher end, you can price closer to 1/3
original retail. Clothing from Target or Wal-Mart should be
priced on the lower end. For example, if a GAP t-shirt can be
purchased on sale for 11.99, you can reasonably price it around $4.00
for good condition, $5.00 for excellent condition, more if the tags are
still on.
The one exception to the 1/4-1/3 rule will be indoor/outdoor toys like
kitchens and playhouses (Little Tykes type items). These
types of toys are in higher demand and you can expect to get as much as
1/3-1/2 of original retail price, especially if they have only been
used indoors and are in great condition. A great question to
ask yourself is "what would I pay for this?" However, try not
to price with your emotions. Because of treasured memories
that you have attached to an item, you will always believe your items
are "worth" more than someone else purchasing them. Just
remember - no one can buy your memories... you will have
those forever.
-

-
Do I have to tag my items?
Yes. You can buy tags
at any office supply store or online. (Click on Consignors for instructions)
-
Do clothes have to be on hangers? Yes,
remember if customers can’t see the clothes easily they will just move
along. Most people have more hangers than they know what to do with.
However, if you need to buy them the dollar stores sells them
inexpensively.
-
How do I get paid? Your
check will be mailed within 10 business days of the sale
