Tagging and Pricing Items
Tagging
To assist you in preparing your items for sale, we use a computerized tagging system! The consignor enters the item information and a tag and inventory sheet are created automatically! Advantages to using this system include faster tagging, faster turn around to receiving your check, and the ability to know what sold at the end of the sale.
Please use Tickles and Giggles online tagging system for merchandise tags. You must use white card stock to print out the tags. No tags will be accepted on standard paper as they may get lost and/or torn. Hand-written tags will not be accepted.
When printing tags, the layout should default to
8 tags per page. Do not print using the "best" or "excellent"
quality print option as this renders the bar codes unreadable by our
scanners.
Pricing Guidelines
Items should be priced in $.50 increments ($1.00, $1.50, etc.). Items will generally sell for 1/2 to 1/4 of the original price. However, make sure to keep the age and condition of the garment in mind when pricing. Sets tend to sell better than separate items, so match them up if you can. For clothing, group like items and price as one. Be sure to place a piece of masking tape with your consignor
number on it inside every clothing article.

- Select "YES" for items that will be discounted.
- Select "NO" for items that will NOT be donated.
PLEASE NOTE: If you choose "YES" to donate the item, that item will automatically be marked as "YES" to discount.
Once you have entered item information, print the tags on card stock. Tags can be printed in batches or all at once.
Use the top portion of the tag to insert safety pins or hole punch
for attaching the tag to the item. When your item is bought, the tag will be removed and used later to record your sale.
After printing tags, attach them to the garment. Punch a hole at the top of the tag. Thread a cable tie through the hole of the tag, through the garment's sewn-in label and around the hanger. This ensures that the tag, garment and hanger all stay together.
Take special care when closing the cable tie. Closing it improperly causes tags to fall off. The tie should lock in place when closed correctly. Check for this by pulling on the loop you created. If it isn't locked, the end of the cable tie will pull free.
If the garment has no label or area in which to thread the cable tie, you may use a safety pin to attach the price tag to the garment. Pin tags to the garment on the right hand shoulder when facing you, trying to avoid puncturing a hole in the garment.
