Get Your Supplies Ready

Here are some of the things you will need to tag your items:

• Safety pins (silver, one-inch size)

• Plastic zip-top bags to hold onesies, parts, or other accessories

• Clear tape to keep items together or to keep bags closed

• Ribbon/string to tie items together like shoes and books

• Hangers appropriate for the item.  Adult-sized hangers should be used for juniors and maternity items only.  Children's hangers must be used for all other sizes.  Hangers can be purchased at discount stores, like Wal-Mart, or may possibly be available at stores which do not keep their hangers, such as Osh Kosh and Kohl's.  You can also contact us to get hangers while supplies last.

• Hole punch (use on tag to attach tag to the item with string)

Tips for Using My Consignment Manager

Organize your items first by type and size.  For example, put all of your toys together, separate of your clothing.  Then, organize your clothing by gender and size.  Inspect all of your items for stains, broken or missing pieces and any other factor that would make it unacceptable.  After you have done all of this, you are then ready to enter your inventory.

If you have never used My Consignment Manager, please register first.  If you are a returning user, you can sign in using your existing username and password.  You will need to choose the B.B.'s Closet Sale for the most current season and year.

Your consignor number is the first letter of your last name followed by the last four digits of your phone number (i.e. B1234).

Please also refer to the My Consignment Manager manual that we have provided in case you have any questions.  You can also contact their help line at support@myconsignmentmanager.com.

Entering Inventory

Several criteria will be entered for each item:

Consignor number:  First letter of your last name followed by the last four digits of your phone number.  This is automatically filled in when entering each item.

Size:  For clothing and other sized accessories, please use numerical sizes (i.e. 12 - 18 months, 6).  Letter sizes (i.e. S, M, L, XL) can be used for maternity items.

Category:  Several categories are available to choose from in the drop-down list.  Be consistent!

Description:  Tell the story behind your item and why someone should buy it.  Is the brand highly regarded?  Has the item never been worn or used?  Is it perfect for a special occasion?  How is it a good deal for the customer?  Make sure to mention any or all of these things if they apply.

Donate:  "Yes" means that the you would like the item to be donated at the end of the sale.  Indicate "yes" for any item that you want to donate and will not be picking up at the end of the sale.  Please note that any items not picked up by the end of the scheduled pick-up time will be donated.

Price:  Provide a price for your items in $1 increments, with a minimum of $1.  Need some ideas on how to price your items?  Check out our pricing section, including our pricing guide.

Discount:  "Yes" means that the item should be sold at 50% off the price indicated on the tag during the half price sale.

Printing Tags

Once you have completed entering your inventory, you are ready to print your tags.  Please use the print code sent to you in your registration confirmation email.

Tags should be printed on white or light-colored cardstock (60# paper).  If you make a mistake on a tag, please do not make corrections on it.  Print a corrected tag.

Items marked for donation will display a "D" on the printed tag.  Items marked as half-price for the half-price sale will display as a red dot on the printed tag.

Hanging/Bagging Items and Attaching Tags

CLOTHING:

All clothes must be on hangers with the tag safety-pinned to the front left shoulder of garment and the hook turned away from the tag (refer to picture below).   For pants, please try to use pinch hangers if possible, as they tend to keep the item more secure and flatter for viewing.  For sets, pin sets securely with pants hung on the backside of the shirt and pinned at the waist on the hanger. (both pieces can be viewed without unpinning the garment).  On larger clothing items, such as maternity or dresses, please secure them with safety pins if they have a tendency to fall off the hanger. Your items won't sell if they're on the floor!

 

LOOSE ITEMS (bibs, cloth diapers, bottles, bows, etc.):

Place in clear Ziploc type bags with the tag attached to the OUTSIDE of the bag using tape to secure it to the bag.  Please be sure to not cover the barcode with the tape as it will not be readable by the scanner.  We also suggest using clear packing tape for securing the bags closed.

 

TOYS, FURNITURE, EQUIPMENT:

Items must be in working order and clean. Small parts should be bagged and taped to the main part very securely. Batteries must be included with all battery-operated items.  Use clear packing tape for securing the bags closed.  Tie the tag to the item using string by putting the string through the tag.  Please try to refrain from using tape if possible.  If tape is necessary, be sure to not cover the barcode with the tape as it will not be readable by the scanner.

 

SHOES:

Tie shoes together with string or ribbon, then tie the string or ribbon through the tag.  Only use plastic bags for infant shoes/booties. 

 

BOOKS, VIDEOS/DVDs, CDs:

Please do not bag sets; components of the set are often separated from the set and the tag, making the item unsellable.  Tie sets together with string in a 4-square as seen below.  Loop the string through the tag and tie it securely.   For individual items, secure the tag to the item using tape, making sure not to cover the barcode.  Consider putting the tag inside the cover of books to prevent them from being ripped off.
