We also have lots of tagging tutorials on our Insta Highlights

Reach out with any questions!
Step 3 - Start Your Pile
Pile all your PreLoved items together! Limited time? Focus on your Big Ticket items (Think strollers, large toys, etc) these things get you the most bang for your buck.
Get inspired on our list of categories for things to bring in the consignor hub or here
While we typically will have space to accept all season’s inventory- if you’re crunched for time, focus on what’s about to sell the best. Naturally Fall/Winter stuff sells best with cold weather coming, and Spring/Summer will sell with warm weather ahead!
Step 4 - Ditch The Damage
Safety Please! Due to regulations, it is mandatory for YOU to check YOUR items to make sure they have not been recalled. Go to US Consumer Product Safety Commission @ www.spsc.gov .
We will not accept any inventory with recalls, stains, holes, damage, missing zippers/buttons, etc. Review our list of ITEMS NOT ACCEPTED here.
Step 5 - Prep Your Pretties
Wash and wipe all the gear, clothes, shoes, toys, etc
Button the buttons, zip the zippers, mag the magnets
ALL clothing must be on a hanger, hanger hook facing left like a ?
Create sets & bundles if you’re short on hangers {sample pics on other tutorial links}
Step 6 - Make Price Tags
Create your price tags in the consignor hub old videos… but same software ;)
{Video Tutorial For Typing Tags Here} {Video Tutorial For Voice Entry/Cellphone Tags Here}
All tags have a price minimum of $2.00 and all prices need to end in 0.50 or .00 :) Feel like something isn’t worth $2? Bundle it with something else :)
If you really want to clear things out be sure to select the Discount option when making your tags. We love sending you home with a bigger check and a smaller pick up pile :) Anything with the discount option selected will go 1/2 price on Sunday.
Print the tags on white cover/cardstock minimum 60 weight paper (colored paper and regular printer/copy paper doesn’t scan well at the registers and will slow the checkout line down. Fast lines = happy shoppers = happy shoppers buy more.)
No Printer? No Problem! Watch this tutorial HERE to send tags to a staples/office depot etc
Changing a price, discount or donate status? MUST REPRINT NEW TAGS! We don’t want anyone walking through the event with a sharpie and telling the cashier “Oh look this says discount so it’s 1/2 price” Nope sorry :) What’s printed is what happens at the register :) If you decide you’d like to donate your leftovers after the event is over- and your tags don’t have a black dot- you may walk your pile to the donations corner and delete your leftovers out of the system later.
Step 7 - Attaching Price Tags
You MUST attach tags with safety pins or a tagging gun. Please NEVER put the pins/tagger through the item or a seam. Holes will be made. Tag the tag, or a raw edge on the inside of the neck/topoftheshoulder {sample pics on other tutorial links}
Items tagged with straight pins or staples WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. You’ll be in a corner redoing all of it. Promise. K love you. Mean it <3
Step 8 - Bundle things By Size
Bundle all your hanger necks together by size! This will super speed up your drop off appt ;)
Lots of peeps use rubber bands around the hanger neck, or strings/yarn
Group like with like- think all the books together, all the toys together. That way you can drop all the books off at the book spot and not have toys/accessories/bags/sports/etc all mixed in walking back & forth across the sales floor.
Get to your Drop Off appointment and ask for an empty table- wait for item inspection- then place your approved inventory on the sales floor where it will sell best. (ie: girls’ 2T hangs in girls 2T, not 24mo. 3-6mo boys’ stuff hangs in 3mo… we always price + hang items based on the smallest size listed on the tag.)
Plan for Drop Off to take a minimum of 30 minutes- longer if you have 250+ items.
Never place rejected inventory on the sales floor. Shoppers are here to find great stuff! We want to maintain that reputation :)
Step 9 - Happy Shopping
At your drop off you’ll get a 5:30 Friday PreSale Pass! Spouses and kiddos are always free for consignors, you may also bring one shopper buddy with you for $5 at the door Friday night.
Want in earlier? Sign up for shifts! The more you help the more you earn & earlier you shop!
While helping at the event is awesome it’s not required :) If you’re busy no stress!
Always be sure to share and interact with all of our social posts over the weekend! Every heart, like and comment helps push our promos out to other locals during the 406 week and the more we all tell the more we all sell :)
At the last transaction of each sales night we upload seller reports and estimated earnings into the consignor hub.
Step 10 - Pick Up + Cash Yo Monay!
Sunday Pick Up…
Pick an appointment time. Please note this is more of a reminder for you in the computer than a strict appointment confirmation. We do our best to have everything ready on time and checks printed :)
ZERO EARLY BIRDS. Nothing leaves the building until we’re all resorted back into the blue bags. If you’re bored or wanna help speeds things up - then sure come on in and we’d love a hand!
Anything left in the building at the end of pick up appointment times becomes the sole property of 406 and is sent IMMEDIATELY to donation.
