DROP-OFF

Drop-off is by appointment only. Deadline to make or change an appointment online is 11:59 PM on Sunday, march 18th.
 
Once registered, all sellers must have a drop-off appointment.  They fill up fast and once all spots are taken, registration is closed.  The link is available on the Consignor Menu and is only available to registered sellers.

• Slots are in shifts of 15 minutes each.  Seller drop-off slots are available the Wednesday prior to the sale, from 7:15 pm - 9:45pm , and on the Thursday prior to the sale, 9am - 1:15pm.
  
  

• Items cannot be brought into the church until your scheduled drop-off time.  Changes to a time can be made online, but only if another slot is open and this function closes on the deadline above.  After that, you must call (228-2897, ext. 170) or email us (dropoff@saintjohnkidskloset.com).
  

• The drop-off schedule is usually full and not flexible.   If arriving early or late for your scheduled appointment, there is no guarantee your slot will be available when you do arrive.  It will depend on the situation with current, on-time appointments.  On-time drop-offs will take precedence, especially when a seller is late. 

• Drop-off is in the area by the church offices (large covered entrance at the rear of the church by gym).  Follow the parking lot to the back of the church.   Do not park in the circle under the overhang unless it is your exact appointment time.
  

• There will be a few wagons to help with larger, bulky items.  Large outdoor play items will be displayed for sale outside the gym entrance door so ask when you arrive what to do if you have these items.
  

• The seller must assemble all large items such as cribs, toddler beds, large outdoor sets, etc., once checked in.  Bring necessary tools and assistance you need to do this.  We won't have the extra hands to help.  Items shouldn't be assembled with every screw and bolt, just enough to hold it together safely, taping the rest of the hardware (in a ziploc bag) securely to the item.  It's the responsibility of the buyer to disassemble and remove large items.  If all pieces are not with an item, it will not be sold. No exceptions.
  

• Another approach would be to take a picture at home of large items fully assembled and then bring it bundled/packaged together, all pieces/nuts/screws, etc. tapped securely to it.  Attach an enlarged picture with full description and as much detail as possible for the buyer to make a decision.

• Children must stay with you at all times while you are dropping off your items.  Please remember there is only a 15 minute time limit for drop-off (and parking your car under the overhang) if small children will accompany you.  Babysitting is not available.

PREPARING ITEMS FOR SALE: SORTING

• Sellers may consign a maximum of 150 items and a minimum of 20 items at each sale.
  

• Wash all items–they must be clean.  If presented well, they sell well.  Stained or badly worn clothing or anything with missing buttons or holes, etc. will not be accepted.  Bring only clothing for the season the sale represents. Be sure to check over infant/toddler clothing very carefully.  Stains from formula & food can be tricky to see but becomes obvious under the bright lights in our gym. 
  

• Sort clothes according to category.  Do not mix them together–it will be much easier to enter the inventory online by category, since the category box will stay prefilled until you change it again.  For example, group all boys clothes together, girls clothes, maternity, toys, books, etc.
  

• Separate shoes and accessories by gender and any accessories that coordinate with a particular outfit should be attached to it.
  

• We do not accept car seats of any kind unless they are part of a NEW stroller system and has never been in an accident.  Only brand new safety helmets will be accepted.  
  

• All toys must be in good, working condition with absolutely NO pieces missing.  Any electronic items MUST HAVE WORKING BATTERIES so shoppers can be sure they work!  
  

• For a quicker check-in at your appointment, items should be GROUPED TOGETHER IN THE ORDER ON YOUR INVENTORY SHEET.   Stack clothing in order too, "rubberbanding" clothing in stacks of 10…making it easier to transport!

• When the CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act) was signed into law on 8/14/08, it became unlawful to sell recalled products.  St. John will not accept any recalled products for sale, antique items relating to children since they are likely to exceed the allowed lead limit, car seats of any kind or used safety helmets.  Sellers must check the CPSC website (www.cpsc.gov) for recalled children's products to be sure the items they are selling have not been recalled.

• Strengthened crib standards from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) (www.cpsc.gov)
  The most stringent crib safety standards in the world took effect on June 28, 2011. These new standards prohibit the sale of traditional drop-side rail cribs, require strengthened crib slats and mattress supports, improve the quality of hardware and mandate more overall rigorous testing.

PREPARING ITEMS FOR SALE: PACKAGING
 Sellers may consign a maximum of 150 items and a minimum of 20 items at each sale.

• Clothing that is presented well, will sell better!   Place all clothing on hangers, making sure the hook is turned away from where the tag will go, as shown in the picture.  Button, zip, tie, etc. each piece.  Anything that is badly wrinkled can be tossed in the dryer with a damp towel and will look much more presentable.

• If an outfit has any matching accessories (ie, socks, hair bows), place in a ziploc bag and pin the bag to the front of the garment with a safety pin.  Pin it any place it will be visible to a potential buyer except on the front, right side where the tag should be. 

• If you do not have a pant/skirt/short hanger, pin garment to the hanger, hung open so the shopper can see the whole item. DO NOT just fold them over the hanger, these will fall off.                                   

• DO NOT PIN ANYTHING BUT THE TAG ON THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE OF THE GARMENT.   DO NOT USE STRAIGHT PINS, STAPLES, ETC.  USE SAFETY PINS ONLY.
  

  
  

• Smaller, similar items can be grouped together and placed in a ziploc bag to count as one item. For example, 4-5 onesies can be bagged together and priced accordingly.  Same with cassettes, electronic games, bibs, socks, hair accessories, books, videos, etc. It is best to use thick rubber bands wrapped both ways (vertical and horizontally) to secure them together. 

• If an item has a tendency to fall off the hanger, secure it in place with safety pins. 

• Tape all bags and boxes closed so items cannot fall out.   
  
  

• Place all shoes, socks etc. in ziploc bags. 2-gallon ziploc bags (and larger) can be used for larger size shoes. Ziploc bags must close. Tape tag securely on the outside, but do not cover the barcode.

PREPARING ITEMS FOR SALE: PRICING

• Items must be priced at a minimum of $1.00, in whole or half dollars (i.e. $1.50, $3.00, $12.50). Be conservative when pricing so it will sell quickly, but don't be too conservative that you are "giving" it away!  Also, consider if you want the item to go ½ price...will that price be too high or too low...and adjust accordingly.  A good rule of thumb: 20% of retail if the item is in good condition;  30% of retail if in best condition; 50% of retail if tags are still on.  Some name brands, such as GAP, Abercrombie, Hollister, Gymboree, etc., can be raised up to another 10% over these guidelines if they are in "better" or "best" condition.
  

• Evaluate your prices–would you pay that amount for the item?
  
  

• Saturday is ½ price day.  If an item is to be reduced, check the appropriate box. Once checked, this box remains checked for each new item you enter.  Be sure to "uncheck" it if there is an item or items you do not want to go ½ price. 
  
  

•  Should some of your items not sell and you wish to donate them to charity after the sale, there is a box to check.  Again, once checked, this box will remain checked for each item until you manually "uncheck" it for an item you do not want to donate.

PREPARING ITEMS FOR SALE: ENTERING INVENTORY

Inventory deadline is 11:59 PM on Sunday, March 18th.  You will be able to print tags after that, but not enter or edit inventory. 

• Use the Consignor Home link to login, then click on Work With Consigned Inventory. When entering items, use the Inventory Prep Sheet if it is easier to write it down first.  Make copies as needed.  

• Do not use the Enter Key to move from one field to another, use the Tab Key instead.    

• Input will go faster if items are organized by category and size. The system will always show the category and size of the previous item entered. 

Categories include the following.  Should you need to "edit" an entry, there are additional inactive categories not used, so the system will not allow them:
1.             Accessories – Boys (hats, socks, scarves, etc.)
2.             Accessories – Girls (hats, socks, scarves, purses, jewelry, hair accessories, etc.)  
3.           Arts & Crafts/School Supplies
4.           Audio CDs/Cassettes
5.           Bedding
6.           Books
7.           Clothing – Boys  (Numbered sizes only, No S-M-L)
8.           Clothing – Girls    (Numbered sizes only, No S-M-L)
9.           Clothing – Juniors  ( Can use numbered or XS-S-M-L-XL)
10.         Clothing – Maternity  ( Can use numbered or S-M-L-XL)
11.         Clothing – Young Men's  (Sizes 18 & up only, or S-M-L-XL)
12.         Costumes
13.         Children's Décor
14.         DVD/VHS
15.         Furniture (including cribs, portable cribs, high chairs, strollers, beds, desks, etc...large items!)
16.         Nursery Equipment  (mobiles, intercoms, safety items, bath, etc.) 
17.         Shoes – Boys
18.         Shoes – Girls
19.         Sports (includes bicycles)
20.         Toys
21.         Video/Computer Games

• IMPORTANT:  Use number sizes ONLY for all children's clothing (Sizes 0-16).  Juniors can use numbers or  XS-S-M-L-XL.  Young Mens and Maternity can use number sizes or S-M-L-XL. The default in the system is "Leave Blank", which is ONLY for non-clothing items with no size. 
  

• There are two lines for the description so be sure to use an accurate brief description that identifies the item.  Examples: 2 pc. Oshkosh pink corduroy overalls w/flowered shirt; Old Navy sweater, blue & red stripes; Black patent leather shoes.  State if an accessory is attached (i.e. Red dress w/hair bow).  Should the tag/accessory become separated from the item, this would help match them again.

•  Enter categories correctly, particularly GIRLS and JUNIORS.  Usually clothes worn in high school would be juniors. Juniors can be entered with a XS-S-M-L-XL or number size.  All clothing in GIRLS has to be entered with a number size only, so you must convert---"S" would be a size 8-10; "M" would be 12-14 and "L" would be 16 or 18 (generally speaking). 
  

• A set of items sold together (i.e, "4 Winnie the Pooh books) are entered as 1 item.  If you have two or more items to enter with identical sizes and descriptions (two brown t-shirts), then change the quantity to reflect the number you have and that is how many will be added to your inventory.

PREPARING ITEMS FOR SALE: TAGGING

• You cannot print tags using the Firefox Mozilla 3 web browser. They will be appear fine on the screen, but the descriptions will not print correctly.  Please instead use Internet Explorer for printing tags. 

• DO NOT create your own or use any other kind of tag. Use only the tags that are printed from our online system. Do not shrink the tags to fit more on a page.  They will not scan properly if you do this.
  

• The barcodes on each tag are extremely important since it is scanned when the item is sold. It must be clearly printed when you run your tags-- not faded in any portion, have any lines through it, too dark and therefore fuzzy, etc.  Do not cover it with tape when attaching the tag.
  

• Fasten tags to all hanging items with safety pins on the upper right, front side.  For delicate fabrics or leather, pin to zipper pull, seam or other inconspicuous spot.  For boxes, tape tag securely (at top and sides only), being sure not to cover any pertinent information on tag.  Infant shoes and other smaller items should be sealed in ziploc bags, with the tags securely taped to the outside. For Toys, secure any loose pieces in a ziploc bag and attach it to the toy (duct/masking tape works well for this).  See picture in packaging section.

• DO NOT TAPE OVER ANY INFORMATION ON THE TAG OR BAR CODE.  Any item without a tag will not be sold.  

• Inventory can be edited anytime up until the deadline.

• If  a change is made AFTER tags have been printed, you must reprint the appropriate tag!  Tags can be printed after the deadline.

• Need blank tags to print for multiple pieces with an item? You can download it here: JPG format or PDF format
