2 ABOUT OUR SALE: SELLER INFORMATION We the largest kids consignment sale in Cherokee County! Our sale is an opportunity for sellers to sell their gently used children s items and a great way to stock those closets for the next season! 25-30% of each item sold goes to support our Children and Preschool Ministries at FBC. To register as a seller or volunteer, go to and click on Sell or Volunteer. You will be linked to our online system at Once approved for the sale, you will enter the information for each item you are selling, print your tags, and place the tag on the corresponding item. Approximately 2-3 weeks after the sale, you will receive a check in the mail. Sellers who do not volunteer will receive 70% of the amount of their sold items minus a $15 fee. All volunteers will receive 70% of the amount of their sold items minus a $5 fee. Volunteers who work four shifts with one of those shifts being a premium shift (Thurs. Mar. 16 from 4:45-9:30 pm OR Sat. Mar. 18 from 2-6 pm) will receive 75% of the amount of their items sold plus no seller s fee. As a seller, you earn the opportunity to shop the preview sale (for sellers and volunteers only) on Thursday, March 16. Your entry time is tiered based on number of hours worked. 4 or more shifts=5 pm, 3 shifts=5:30 pm, 2 shifts=6 pm, 1 shift=6:30 pm, and sellers not volunteering enter at 7 pm. If you choose to work the Thursday Preview Sale shift (4:45-9:30 PM), you can either choose to give your preview sale pass away OR attend a special ½ price preview sale Saturday morning at 7:45 AM. Keep in mind that you can work overlapping shifts and count that as two. For example, 8:45-12 and 11-2 would count as two. However, you cannot sign up for an 8:00 and an 8:30 shift and count that as two. Registration will open the week of January 9, 2017, and will be open to all sellers, regardless of their volunteer status. However, we have

3 made changes to seller fees based on volunteer status, so please see the 3 rd bullet above. All inventory must be entered and printed by 11:59 pm on Sunday, March 12. You must be a registered seller by 6:00 pm on Sunday, March 12. You can choose to mark each item to sell for ½ price on Saturday if you wish. You can also choose a box to automatically donate an item at the end of the sale. If you are donating your items after the sale, we recommend that you mark them to sell for ½ price on Saturday. If you wish to pick up your unsold items, you will be able to pick them up on Saturday, March 18 between 6 and 8 pm. No oversized items or excessively heavy items may be donated because we don t have the means of getting them where they need to be. GETTING CLOTHES READY: All clothing must be on hangers, with hangers to the left. (The hook on top of the hanger will be in the shape of a question mark). The tag will be on the left side of the piece of clothing (so when you are looking at the clothing, it will be to your right). All items must be sorted by gender, and then by size within gender. Clothes should be clean and stain free, with no stains, missing buttons, broken zippers, etc. Iron them if necessary. Button all buttons and zip all zippers. Secure any matching accessories for outfits in Ziploc bags, and attach bag to the hanger or the clothing with a safety pin. Skirts and pants must be safety pinned to the TOP of the hanger. Do not fold them over the hanger, and do not safety pin them by the bottom part of the hanger. They move, droop, and generally look messy when hanging from the bottom. Remember: the goal is for your item to look its best so it will sell! Shoes can be packaged in several ways. 1) If they are small in size, they can be placed inside a Ziploc bag and place the tag inside the

4 bag. 2) You can put larger shoes together using a zip tie. To strengthen the tag for the shoes, either tape both sides with clear packing tape and punch a hole for the zip tie, or place the tag in a small Ziploc bag and push the zip tie through the bag. 3) Shoes with strings can be tied together, but the above method for securing the tag and strengthening the tag using tape or a plastic bag are recommended. Taping the tag to the bottom of the shoe is not recommended. Bibs should be attached with safety pins and should also be free of stains. Onesies must be on hangers and safety pinned together. ONLY STAIN FREE ONESIES! Socks can be placed in a bag. Please label with a size! Even if it s just an approximate shoe size, that will help buyers better determine if they will fit their child. We recommend putting the size in the description area of the tag along with a brief description. GETTING NON-CLOTHING ITEMS READY: Bedding is best if placed in a large see-through bag, but pieces can be safety pinned if needed. Toys with multiple pieces should be labeled (you can use 1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3, etc tags-optional) and taped together if at all possible. Smaller pieces can be placed in Ziploc bags and securely taped to the toy. We recommend wrapping the tape multiple times. We do try to be sure that kids in the toy section are supervised by a parent, but there will still occasionally be unattended children, and they will do their best to pull the toys apart to play. Consider this as you are preparing toys to sell. Hair accessories can be bagged and tagged. Single items with no loose pieces can simply have the tag attached with a piece of clear packing tape, or if it is a soft item, the tag can be attached with a safety pin.

5 You may have to be creative when attaching tags and securing items, but just keep in mind that the ultimate goal is to keep everything together and to keep the tag attached!

8 MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION: PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE use a complete description of your item including brand, color, design, etc. The description line is long USE IT! If your tag happens to become separated from your item, we will be much more likely to be able to match your item to its tag and sell it if you have used a complete description. If you are planning on donating all your unsold items at the end of the sale, we suggest marking your items to sell for ½ price on Saturday. Better to sell for ½ price than not at all! No maximum on number of items! Because of the increase in fees for sellers not volunteering, you must have a minimum of $50 worth of items to sell if you are not volunteering. The church will not cut checks to sellers for less than $10. Please bring a self-addressed stamped envelope with you. If you don t have one, you will need to bring $1 with you to cover the cost. WE WILL NO LONGER BE DEDUCTING CHECKS FOR THE $1 POSTAGE FEE. Checks are normally ready about 2 ½-3 weeks after the sale. All checks will be mailed. We no longer offer check pickup. ***All checks not cashed within 90 days will be voided, so please cash ASAP! Unsold items may be picked up on Saturday, March 18 between 6 and 8 pm. Any items not picked up by 8 pm WILL BE DONATED. If you have any questions not addressed in this packet, please contact us at fbckidssale@yahoo.com. If you shop the preview sale at a time allotted for a volunteer, and do not volunteer your shift, you will be charged a $25 fee. We want to keep everything fair for everyone!***

9 You will notice that the consignor s agreement has been removed from the seller s packet. Consignor s agreements will be available to fill out when dropping off your items. This is to ensure that everyone has the correct seller s agreement. You will still be required to bring either a self-addressed, stamped envelope or $1 to cover the cost of mailing your check at the end of the sale.
