How To Make Tags       

NOTE: All items MUST be input into MySaleManager.NET by 11:59 PM on Sunday, April 6th.

Kidzsignments uses a bar coding tagging system for our sale. This system makes our sale extremely efficient!  To register for the upcoming sale (new or returning consignor), please click this link Register Me! and follow the instructions. Your consignor number will be assigned by the system. If you are a returning consignor, your consignor number will change to a numeric number. You will need to set up a user name and password to access your account.  

Consignor ID – Your ID will be a 4 digit numerical number assigned to you by our tagging service and will remain the same for subsequent events.

Description – Use this space to sell your item! Is it a name brand? If so, list the name brand in this space. If the item is New or Like New, list that information there too. If an item is marked one size but wears like another, point that out. For larger items, it may be beneficial to point out the item’s original or retail price. This may convince the buyer of the great deal they will be getting.

Discount – This will tell us what to sell for ˝ price during the half-price sale on Saturday/Sunday. Check the box if you want your item to be sold at half-price during the half price sale. If the box is not checked, your item will sell at full-price for the length of the sale.

Donate – Tell us what items you want to take home with you after the sale.  A “Yes” will indicate that you will NOT be taking that item back home after the sale and Kidzsignments will be donating the item on your behalf. Check the box if you want to donate the item. If the box is not checked the system will default to a NO DONATE designation.  NOTE: All items must be picked up by 6 pm on Sunday or they will be donated regardless of what is indicated on the tag.

Price – Minimum price must be $1 but we suggest a $2 minimum to make it worth your time to prepare. We recommend that you increase in increments of $1 but do allow for .50 increments.  Bundle items together if individually they cannot be priced for $1 or more.

Don’t make handwritten changes or corrections to your tags. Make a new tag if you make a mistake or change your mind about a price. You will NOT be able to make any changes to your tags once they are checked in to the sale. Changes made by hand or entered without a new tag printing will NOT be honored at check-out.

Make sure your barcodes will scan

Preparing Items for Tagging

Clothing

All clothing must be on a hanger. Use plastic or wire child-size hangers. In the past, children’s stores like Carter’s and OshKosh have been generous to supply our consignors with hangers. Hang clothing so that the hanger hook is facing to the LEFT, and the tag is safety pinned on the RIGHT side of the garment (see diagram below). For one piece outfits. tops or dresses, it is acceptable to attach the price tag to the garments tag as long as our tag will hang flat outside of the item.

Use dress or two-piece hangers to display sets or dresses with panties. Sets are also acceptable if top and bottom are pinned together and hung securely on a single hanger. Pin clothing to the item if the garment is slipping on the hanger.

Pants, shorts and skirts should be hung using pant hangers or pinned at the waist on a child-size wire hanger (pin all panties and accessories to the item). Please do not fold bottoms over the hanger.

Non-Hanging Items

Shoes – Shoes must be new or next-to-new to sell. We will be VERY picky! Shoes must be tied together with string or ribbon (please do not use safety pins to attach shoes). Attach the tag to the string through the top of the card. Securing attach the tag to the pair of shoes. If possible, fit the individual pairs of shoes into a smaller sized zip-lock bag. While we recognize that some people take the care to keep the original shoeboxes, we cannot accept the shoes displayed in these boxes. Our experience has been that the boxes are easily separated from the shoe and do not influence the shoppers decision to buy any more than a neatly displayed pair of shoes outside the box.

Large Items (Infant Equipment, Bikes, Kitchens etc.) – Attach the tag using masking tape, zip ties (available at Home Depot)  or a string/ribbon pulled through the hole punch on the tag.  Please refrain from attaching card using packing tape. Packing tape is hard to remove and may cause damage to the tag at checkout. IMPORTANT: Bar Codes CANNOT be covered with tape. The scanner will be unable to read the tag at checkout. Mark the bottom/side of item with a small piece of masking tape listing your consignor ID and price. If the tag is accidentally removed, we will now know whom the item belongs to and be able to sell it. IF YOU ARE SELLING A CRIB OR OTHER ITEM THAT IS DISASSEMBLED, BE SURE TO ASSEMBLE IT AT HOME TO BE SURE THE  ITEM WORKS CORRECTLY AND ALL PIECES ARE ACCOUNTED FOR.

Items with Small Parts/Accessories – Small parts or accessories should be contained in a zip-lock bag and securely closed (with packing tape). This is crucial to prevent the bag being opened and small parts misplaced or lost. Attach the tag using scotch or masking tape so not to damage the tag (or cover the bar code) during checkout. Mark the bottom/side of item with a small piece of masking tape listing your consignor ID. If the tag is accidentally removed, we will now know whom the item belongs to and contact that consignor for new tagging information.

Toys – Attach tag to the item using scotch or masking tape, zip ties or string/ribbon. Make sure tag is secure. We will NOT sell any item without a tag.

Books – Attach tag to the inside cover of the book. Multiple books can be placed in a Ziploc style bag with tag attached to cover or slipped inside (must be visible to shopper). Attach tags using scotch or masking tape only. Packing tape may result in damage to the book during checkout.  IMPORTANT: Bar Codes CANNOT be covered with tape. The scanner will be unable to read the tag at checkout.

Videos/DVDs – Review all videos/DVDs prior to tagging. Attach tags using scotch tape only. Packing tape may result in damage to  the only (do not cover bar code).  during checkout.

We may ask you to  assembled  items onsite. Please provide us with instructions on assembly/disassembly so the buyer is confident she/she will know how to set up at home.
