Things you will need to prepare your items to
sell:
-
MUST have WHITE Cardstock PAPER!!! (If you do not use
this you will be asked to return and redo your tags- we can not be
liable if your tags get ripped off your item because you did not use
heavy paper). The scanner will not scan your item if it is on
colored or textured paper. Also, please check the tags after
you print them. If they are blurry or smeared, the scanner will not
read them. Please do not resize the tags before printing them... the
scanner will not read the barcode if you resize them. 6 tags will
fit on one sheet of 8.5" x 11" sheet of
cardstock.
Easy
and Quick Directions for tagging your items:
-
Place the items on a hanger so that the hook is
facing the left. The hanger should look like a question mark (see
example below). Use
safety pins to attach any item that may fall off the hanger such as
pants, skirts and blouses. Any infant items that will not fit on the
hanger should also be safety pinned. Do NOT use straight pins or
clothes pins.
-
Make
sure that you have registered as a consignor. If you have not done
so, please do so now. Click on the link on the left to register as a
new consignor or a returning consignor. If you can not remember your
log in number or password let us know. You will then go to the consignor page and begin entering your items
into the computer following the directions that are given. Make sure
that you check the boxes to donate or discount your items if you
wish to do so. Your items must be at least $.50.
How
to price your items:
As the
consignor, it is your responsibility for setting the prices for your
items. If you want to discount your items 50% for the last day of sale,
just check the appropriate box when creating your tags.
Here are some tips and
guidelines we hope you might find useful:
-
Package similar items together for quicker sale.
For example, match a top with a bottom, similar theme/age books,
pairs of socks, or smaller toys etc.
1.
Presentation Matters!!!! Run the iron quickly over each item; take
the little extra time to button all buttons, zip zippers, etc.
2.
Clothing is best priced at 1/4 to 1/3 of the retail price. Below
are our suggested and proven price points for different categories of
clothing. You must keep in mind the brand/label of your clothing and how
worn your clothes are and then price accordingly.
3.
When selecting your price for the item, think of the very least you
would consider taking for it and that should be your price. If you
can’t take half that amount, then do not select the half price option
for that item. Do not let the half price issue affect your
regular selling price because it simply makes the regular selling price
too high. Remember if you are going to donate the item then always
mark it at ½ price. It is better to get something for it than
nothing.
4. Consider
this a great opportunity to clean out closets and kid’s rooms.
Do not let your time and energy go to waste by not selling everything
you put in the sale. Price it to sell!!!
5.
If someone comes to the sale and gets lots of bargains, they are
probably going to tell their friends. The success of Duds for
Doodlebugs depends on a good turnout of shoppers. If we give them the
bargains that they want, then our shopper base will grow each year.
-
When finished entering your labels put your WHITE
CARDSTOCK paper in the printer and press print. You are not required
to print all at one time. Your information will be saved and
you can always go back to it at a later date. After you print the
tag, be sure not to change any information on that particular item
unless you reprint the tag! The barcode is good only for the
information tied to the item at the time of printing.
