Consigning Time

• ALWAYS CHECK THE TAGGING GUIDELINES FOR YOUR SPECIFIC SALE!
• If you are printing tags, make sure you use card stock and have plenty of ink.
• Pick your best, in season clothes.  
• Make sure there are not any stains, rips, missing buttons etc. on any of your clothing.  If you can not repair the item, go ahead and donate it to Goodwill. 
• Clothes that look nice and smell nice are more likely to sell than those that are wrinkled or reek of cigarette smoke.
• Clothing is only accepted for current seasons and must be in good condition.
• Hang your clothes on wire hangers.  You can get these at dollar stores or dry cleaners. 
  
• Pin your clothes to the hanger with safety pins so they won't fall off and get lost
• Create a tag for the item being careful to follow the directions for the specific sale you are participating in.  If it is not tagged correctly, they will not accept it.
