Preparing and tagging your items to sell

We use a wonderful computerized system called My Consignment Manager.  Handwritten tags will not be accepted.  The cost to use this system is included in your $8 registration fee.  If at any time you have problems using the system, please feel free to contact us at coastalkidsale@yahoo.com.  It is our desire to keep this process quick and easy for everyone.

We've put together a pricing guide that will assist you in determining what to sell and at what price.  This is meant only to be used as a guide--consignors are in control of pricing their items.  If you question whether or not an item is acceptable for the sale, please feel free to contact us atcoastalkidsale@yahoo.com  We are happy to help you decide.

Items we are unable to accept
Please do not be offended if we do not accept an item.  We have very high standards, as do our customers.  These guidelines are to insure a successful sale and to be fair to other Consignors and Shoppers.




Helpful tips for organizing your items first then proceed to tagging

appropriate sized hangers (wire or plastic; many stores give them to you free if you ask)
safety pins (size 1 inch or larger);  NO STRAIGHT PINS...ouch!  Items with straight pins will be rejected                      and we will ask that you replace with safety pins before putting items on the salesfloor.
OPTIONAL:  tagging gun with fine fabric barbs (instead of safety pins to secure tags to clothes)
clear packing tape
WHITE cardstock paper (#60 - 67 works best but any heavy cardstock or coverstock paper
accepted.  Regular printer paper WILL not be accepted as the tags will tear & fall off)
zip-lock storage bags

How to tag your items

Important--ALWAYS make sure your items are securely fastened, boxes are taped shut, tags are securely attached, zip loc bags are shut (tape them if necessary) and that any toys with small parts are in zip loc bags and taped together using packing tape not scotch tape.  Tags will be removed from the item at checkout so please don't go crazy with the packing tape.

Also DO NOT place tape over the barcode of the tag.  We cannot sell your item or give you credit if we cannot scan the barcode.
