AGAIN - WE HAVE BARCODED TAGS!  NOW, ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS TYPE IN YOUR ITEM INFORMATION AND PRINT YOUR TAGS FROM YOUR OWN COMPUTER.

Drop-and-Dash Policy: At drop-off, after your clothing items have been checked, we ask that you place your own clothing items on the sales floor as this keeps a sale of this size organized and running smoothly. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE UNABLE TO PLACE YOUR CLOTHING ITEMS ON THE SALES FLOOR, FOR WHATEVER REASON, WE WILL PLACE THEM FOR YOU. HOWEVER, DUE TO THE EXTRA WORKLOAD THIS CREATES ON A SALE OF THIS SIZE, IT IS NECESSARY THAT WE CHARGE A SERVICE FEE OF 5% OF YOUR TOTAL SALES.
 

WHAT DO I DO ON CHECK-IN DAY?

SIGN IN: No appointment necessary!  Just make sure you come during the specified drop-off times.  Please proceed to the Sign-in table and check in.  On the sign-in sheet, please indicate whether you will be picking up or donating your unsold items.

For a fee of $1.00 (deducted from your total check amount) we will mail your check to you; or, you may leave a self-addressed stamped envelope at check-in.  Let us know at check-in how you want to receive your check.

SCREENING YOUR ITEMS: You will put your items on the sales floor in the appropriate sizes.  A screener will screen items after they are on the sales floor.  Please allow 15-20 minutes for this appointment.  If you have a large number of items you will need to allow more time.  You need at least 15 items in order to be a seller.  WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING STUFFED ANIMALS AND DIAPER GEANIES. WE ARE NOW ACCEPTING WOMEN'S CLOTHING (SIZES 6-20 ONLY), MEN'S CLOTHING (S,M,L,XL), ONLY 10 PAIRS OF CHILDRENS SHOES PER GENDER, ONLY 5 BOOKS OR GROUPS OF BOOKS.  PLEASE ONLY BRING YOUR BEST HANDBAGS.

THERE WILL BE HANDTRUCKS AVAILABLE TO ASSIST WITH HEAVY FURNITURE ITEMS, BUT EACH PERSON IS RESPONSIBLE FOR BRINGING IN THEIR OWN ITEMS, SO BRING HUBBY OR FRIEND IS NECESSARY. :-)

PICK UP OF UNSOLD ITEMS

Indicate on the sign-in sheet if you will be picking up or donating your unsold items.  If you want to retrieve your unsold items after the sale, you may pick them up as follows.  All Sellers can pick up their items between 6:30pm to 8:00pm sharp on Saturday, February 27th.  No exceptions.

  We must vacate the building therefore all unclaimed items will be the property of the Northside Consignment Sale. No exceptions!!

WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT VOLUNTEERING TO WORK?

WHO MAY VOLUNTEER?  Anyone who is energetic and enthusiastic!!  If you are a Seller and work one 4.0 hour shift (and have the minimum items required), you are entitled to shop at the 3:30pm Workers Presale on Tuesday, February 23rd. If you work two 4.0 regular workshifts OR the Breakdown shift Saturday (2:00pm-7:00pm), you are entitled to shop at the 2:30pm on Tuesday, February 23rd at the Premier Workers Presale!  If you are a Seller and choose not to work (and have the minimum 15 items required), you are entitled to shop that same afternoon at 4:30pm for the Sellers Presale.  PLEASE DO NOT BRING CHILDREN TO YOUR WORK SHIFT!

VOLUNTEERS WILL BE NEEDED BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER THE SALE.  Once you are scheduled, we rely on you to keep your commitment to working your scheduled shift.  If for any reason you cancel your work-shift and do not find a replacement for yourself after August 13th, a $25.00 fee will be deducted from your final check (unless you schedule and work another shift or find a replacement for your shift).  If you are uncertain that you can commit your time, please do not schedule to work.  We immensely appreciate all those who offer their time...thank you in advance!  We know attending the Presale is well worth the effort!!

REFER TO THE REGISTRATION PAGE FOR AVAILABLE WORK-SHIFTS:   Please arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled time to sign-in, find out specific duties, get a name tag and get situated.  When your shift is over, sign out before you leave.

WHICH ITEMS WILL BE ACCEPTED?

All sizes of children's clothes, preemie to Adult Women's sizes (SIZE 6 TO 20 ONLY),updated maternity clothing (S,M,L,XL)and Men's clothing (S,M,L,XL).  All clothing items must be SPRING and SUMMER` and must be in EXCELLENT CONDITION (no holes, stains, tears or missing buttons), neat, clean and free of odors.  Clothing MUST be current styles.  ALSO, WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING STUFFED ANIMALS OR DIAPER GEANIES. YOU MAY ONLY BRING UP TO 10 PAIRS OF SHOES PER GENDER AND 5 BOOKS OR GROUPS OF BOOKS.  Please do not bring any worn out, faded, or out-dated clothing.  Toys and equipment should be in working order and clean.  In order to be in the sale, you need at least 15 tagged items. 

HOW DO I PREPARE MY ITEMS TO SELL?

HANG GARMENT:  Hang all garments on hangers with hanger hook pointing left (WE ESPECIALLY LIKE PLAIN WIRE HANGERS).  Secure two-piece outfits together by placing the shirt on the hanger first.  Place the pants or skirt on the back of the hanger (the two garments will be back-to-back).  Use safety pins to attach both pieces to the hanger.  Do not use tiny gold pins (not strong enough to hold the item), and do not use straight pins (dangerous to the shopper).  When preparing shoes, you may tie the shoelaces together, buckle the shoes together, or even pin them together.  Please do not put shoes in baggies!

PACKAGE TOY/GAME/PUZZLE PIECES AND DIRECTIONS SECURELY:  Put loose pieces in clear plastic bags and attach to the toy by tying it on, using masking tape or by placing the bag inside the unsealed toy.  The bags that newspapers come in work very well for packaging.

PRICE AND PREPARE TAGS FOR ALL OF YOUR ITEMS BEFORE CHECK-IN:  Price your items as if you are the purchaser.  Friday and Saturday will be 50% off days!  If you do not want an item reduced those days, mark your tag appropriately.

TO MAKE A TAG:  PLEASE NOTE, NEW ADDITIONAL TAGGING PROCEDURE - Use cardstock paper!  WE ARE NOW USING A BARCODING SYSTEM.  THEREFORE, YOU MUST PRINT YOUR TAGS OUT FROM YOUR PRINTER.  PLEASE GO TO THE LINK PROVIDED TO TYPE AND PRINT YOUR TAGS.  IT IS VERY USER FRIENDLY AND EASY.

WRITE ALL PRICES IN $.50 INCREMENTS.

SORT CLOTHES:  Clothes should be sorted by gender and size before your scheduled check-in appointment time.
