TAGGING CLOTHES
- Start by cleaning all the clothing items you have. This is a great time to ensure that they do not have stains, tears or other wear marks.
- Hang all the shirts on the hangers with the hook of the hanger facing the left (like a question mark).
- If the shirt has the slightest potential of slipping off, fasten the shirt to the hanger with one safety pin on each side.
- Pin all the pants to the hangers with two safety pins, one on each side.
- For sets, hang and/or pin the shirt first then turn it around and pin the pants to the back of the hanger.
- Once you have all items hung, you can start printing tags and attaching them to the clothes with a safety pin. Only pin the top part of the tag to the items, the bottom part is for our use at check out.
PREPPING BOOK BUNDLES

SELLING TIPS:
- Price it to sell. Overpriced items will not sell.
- When in doubt leave it out. Please leave out clothes with stains, holes and any sign of wear and tear. We inspect every item during drop-off.
- We highly suggest marking your items to reduce 50% for Saturday. Trust us, small pick-up lists are liberating.
- All items must be priced $2 or more.
- A little bit of extra work goes a long way to sell those items (ironing, stain stick, dusting/cleaning toys, etc).
- Pick clothes within the season: Warm clothes for our fall sale and lighter clothes for our spring sale. Out of season items will not be accepted.
- Have fun! Don't sweat the small stuff! Enjoy your trip down memory lane! Email us with questions! Did we mention have fun!?!
