Pricing and Tagging
Please price all items in $.50 increments. Items should be priced to sell before the 1/2 off day since most items sell prior to the last day. Typically, this is between 1/3 and 1/4 of retail prices. For clothing, I typically suggest $3.00 for a name brand shirt or shorts if they are gently worn. Brand new items can typically be sold at 1/2 of the original price. If you aren't sure about any toys, I use amazon.com or toysrus.com as a guide to figure out the original price and then apply the fractions above based on the condition.
Helpful Hints
Please remember tags that are taped to toys must be removed quickly by our cashiers at check out. Please do not seal your tags so tightly they cannot be removed from the toys. Also, please do not place tape over the barcode.
Tagging Items
All items will need to have your seller number, a description of the item, size, price, if it is to be reduced on 1/2 off day, and whether you would like any items donated. Items will be entered into the database and will have a bar code on the tag. All items will need to be entered no later than Monday, March 15th at 11:59pm as the server will be taken down.
Guidelines for tagging:
- Please do not use dark colored paper or fuzzy, textured paper, only white or pastel card stock
- Please do not put tape on the barcode
- Please use a printer with normal toner (no dot matrix printers). Ink jets are preferable.
- Please use NORMAL or DRAFT print setting otherwise the ink will bleed and we will not be able to scan them in.
- If you have a color printer, please ensure that you have selected "Black Cartridge Only" from the printing properties screen.
- Place tags on the front right hand side of the item (as you look at it) with a safety pin. For items that you can't use safety pins, please use clear packing or masking tape. Be sure the tag is secure, because if a tag falls off, we can't sell your item.
- To reduce swapping tags, you may use a tagging gun to adhere your tags to your clothing items.
- Sort your clothes by gender and size before tagging for best efficiency
- Please do not run your item description to the very edge of the description box and eliminate using too many capital letters
