 Items with multiple parts please consider putting masking tape tags on extra parts with your consignor id and a "goes with . . .' description. This will help us to help you during the sale to re-unite parts that may become separated.

PRICING AND PACKAGING SHOES
Shoes can be put in a zip lock bag with your barcoded tag zipped inside. It is best to put your pricing tag inside the bag so as to not cover the shoes. You do not want to prevent showing the consumer the beauty of the shoe. Then, use masking tape and put a piece on each shoe bottom. Write your consignor ID # and the price of your shoes on the tape.

You can also tie the shoestrings together (connect the shoes to one another) or buckle the actual shoe straps together.
Then, punch a hole in the pricing card and thread the shoe strings themselves through the barcoded tag. You can also use ribbon,  cable ties, or twist tie to attach the shoes to one another.

    * RATR reserves the right to to pull those that do not meet the required safety standards.

    * You may not resell a car seat that has ever been recalled.

DECIDING HOW TO PRICE YOUR ITEMS
Best guideline: Think about what you would be willing to pay for the item if you were in the buyers shoes and the one considering purchasing it. If you would pay a particular price, someone else probably would, too! Ask yourself: "What would I pay for this?"

Also, look at the original retail price -- whether you paid original or not -- and take 75 % off. This gives you a thinking range. For example, if an item originallly cost  $20, take 75% off and think of pricing the item in the general area of $4.50 to $5. 

If it is an item that is highly desirable like Abercrombie, Polo, Gymboree, Limited Too, etc., you can go up from the 75% off. If it is an item that is still in good shape, but from Target, Walmart, etc. you might need to stay around the lower price.

Keep in mind you are competing with many items of similar quality, and the best price will sell first. After determining what you think is a fair price, ask yourself, "Would I pay $****** for this item?" or "Would I pay more than this?" If you would pay more, add a dollar or maybe two to the price.

The people who make the most money have higher quality items priced in the ranges of $4.00 - $10.00. A few high quality items will really add up quickly!

Keep in mind that your goal is to sell your items, otherwise, you will be taking it home with you at the end of this sale, so be careful to not over price.

HANGING YOUR ITEMS

Pin pants to hanger like this

    Use only one hanger for two piece outfits.
Hang the shirt first, then turn the hanger over and pin the waist of the pants to the back of the shirt at the shoulder seams.

Do not pin second pieces (pants or skirts) under a jacket or shirt where they cannot be seen.

Pin pants with two safety
pins at the waist. One pin will go on each side of the hanger's hook.
The pants can be seen fully, front and back by simply flipping the hanger over and will not constantly fall on the floor.

See the example above for the proper way to tag pants!

*DO NOT USE STRAIGHT PINS, please use MED TO LARGE SAFETY PINS
*IF IT FALLS OFF THE HANGER WHILE YOU ARE HANGING IT, IT
WILL FALL  OFF DURING THE SALE!  PLEASE SAFETY PIN IT TO THE HANGER.
