Tagging & Tagging Guns

New for Fall 2010 - We will be using a barcode program that will print a barcode on your tag for you.  You will have to sign-up to be consignor and have a consignor number to begin your tagging process.  

What type of paper do I use to print my tags on?
 Use white card stock to print your lables on.  On the right side on the tag will be printed Discount: yes or no (depending on if you want that item to go half price or not). If you chose to half price your items you may want to highlight the words Discount: Yes to make your tag stand out.  

What if I live out-of-town?
Consignors who live out of town may have a tagging gun mailed to them.  Please contact our tagging gun corrdintor to have one mailed to you.  Tagging guns are $11 plus shipping cost.  This is for Out-of-towners only!  NO EXCEPTIONS!!!  

How do I tag matching items?
Matching items maybe sold as a set or can be separated. To sell matching items as a set mark on tag “DO NOT SEPARATE” and tape the hangers together. Also write on the tag that it is a 2-outfit set.  If you want them to be sold as separate pieces on Saturday, tag each item individually. 

How do I price my Items?
Price your items at 1/3^rd –1/4^th of what you paid new for the item, think about what you would want to pay for the item.   Remember to price half-price items in even amounts.  No items under $0.50, and use only increments of $0.50 when pricing these items.  For example: price a book at  $0.50 instead of $0.25 this makes it much simpler at checkout. 

How do I hang my items and where do I attach the tag? 
The opening on the hanger needs to be facing the left when you hang your item on the hanger. The front of the clothing item when facing you, the hanger should look like the hook on the question mark (“?”).  When looking at the FRONT of the clothing item, place the tag on the upper right-hand shoulder seam, any seam or the selvage. of the item.   PLEASE DO NOT USE SAFETY PINS TO ATTACH YOUR TAGS. 

How do I tag toys?
For toys, tape the tag to the flattest surface possible.   Tip: clear packing tape works better than scotch tape.  Small toys with little pieces and puzzles should be placed in Ziploc bag.  Tape the to the outside of the Ziploc bag.   You may tape the bag close to help deter theft.  Do not use staples to seal your Ziplocs.

What kind of condition should the clothes be in?
All clothing items need to be clean, have no stains, and be on hangers. We reserve the right to refuse any item based on condition, style or seasonal nature.  We will not accept items that are stained, torn, or missing pieces (buttons, etc) or that smell.  Items must be free from animal hair.   We reserve the right to refuse any item we feel is unacceptable. Any item that is stained damaged or out of season will be returned to the seller.  If you consistently bring in items that are stained or damaged you will not be allowed to sell in future sales. We will not take items that smell of smoke!

How do I tag onesies, socks, shoes, crib sheets, lap pads, etc?
Theses items are to be placed inside Ziploc bags.  Put the number of items that are in the bag. (i.e., 6-onsies, size 3 month) on the tag.  Tape the top half only of the tag to the outside of the Ziploc bag.   You may tape the bag close to help deter theft.  Do not use staples to seal your Ziplocs. All shoes MUST be in Ziploc Bags, with the tag taped to the outside of the bag.  No shoeboxes. DO NOT USE STAPLES TO CLOSE YOUR ZIPLOCS. 

Pajama's should be placed on hangers instead of in a Ziploc bag. They will sell better on a hanger than in Ziploc's.

MOMC will not be responsible for lost tags.
