| Consignor Fee We have a consignor fee of $10 which will be deducted from your check. Bye-Buy Consign wants to make sure that all consignors are well compensated for their time and effort, so we always give our consignors 70% of what their items sell for. Please visit the Volunteer page for a way to increase your earnings! |
You will need the following items to prepare your merchandise for the sale:
We ask that you use only wire hangers for our sale. Plastic hangers are allowed but it is hard to get the safety pins secured correctly and sometimes clothing ends up on the floor. We recommend using large safety pins. After putting on thousands of safety pins preparing our items, we know how tired your fingers can get opening and closing them; plus they are stronger and easier to use on bulky items. Tagging We use an online POS bar coding system which allows us to scan merchandise as it is sold. This will help us get your checks out quicker and also allows you to reconcile items at the end of the sale. To create tags for your items:
**HINT: When printing your tags, make sure your ink isn't low, and set your printer cartridge to print in black ink or grayscale only** How to price your merchandise The best part about Bye-Buy Consign is that the consignor sets the price for their items. I know this can seem overwhelming but remember that most items will sell for 75% off of what they cost new. Some name brands like Gymboree, Gap, Fisher-Price etc., may sell for more. Please place items together so that you are pricing with a minimum of $2.00. We give you the option to include your unsold items in the 1/2 price sale and/or donate any unsold items to charity. Tips Price your items to sell! You will be much happier that your item sold at a fair price, than taking back something you no longer need. Taking a little extra time in your preparation can make a huge difference in the appearance of your items.
Tape shut your baggies with clear packing tape to prevent things getting lost . We also suggest that for smaller clothing (3T or below) using children sized wire hangers. Also remember for that for these smaller sizes, multiple items on a hanger sell better than just a shirt or pants. If you have three shirts that don't have pants put those together to build up the value of your items. Sometimes tags do get lost, so we suggest you put a small piece of tape with your consignor number on the tag inside the clothing or on the bottom of the toy. This way when we find a tag laying on the floor and an item that doesn't have a tag we will know they go together. |
Clothing We will be accepting all children's, maternity, and junior clothes. All clothing needs to be on wire hangers and safety pinned to the hanger with the hanger facing the left (like a question mark). For multiple pieced items, please attach main item to the hanger with the hook of the hanger facing the left (like a question mark) and the acessories/pieces to the first item with safety pins. For example, put the shirt on the hanger, secure it with pins and then pin the pants to the back of the shirt. All tags need to be placed on the top right hand side. Please place items together so that you are pricing with a minimum of $2.00. Remember outfits will sell the best, everyone loves those cute coordinated sets (matching socks can be pinned to outfits also). As a general rule price your items for 75% of original retail price. Brand names will sell for more. Tip: Price your items to sell! You will be much happier that your item sold at a fair price, than taking back something you no longer need. We want to keep a good reputation for high quality items, so please double check your items for stains, rips or excess wear. We will check all items for quality at drop off, so please only bring items you would consider purchasing yourself. This is not a yard sale. Please do not be offended if we do not accept some of your items. This process enables us to offer the highest quality items to our customers. Any items that fall short of these requirements will be returned to you or donated if marked 'donate' on the tag. Shoes We will be accepting Children's Fall/Winter shoes. They must be in excellent condition. The tag can be safety pinned to the laces or the buckle of the shoes or place them in a baggie with the tag taped on the outside (remember please don't tape over the bar code). Please wipe off, polish or wash all shoes prior to sale; new shoelaces may help them sell for a better price. Remember to price using a minimum of $2.00. Loose merchandise and accessories We will be accepting hair bows, bibs, socks, rattles, nipples, bottles, etc. Bibs need to be free from stains and tears. Bottles need to be in excellent condition and with all parts (except nipples please package those separately); bottles should be packaged with a minimum of two in a package. Place items in a baggie and seal with clear packing tape. Tape tag to outside of bag being careful to not cover the bar code. Also, remember to price using a minimum of $3.00. If your item is worth less than $2.00 please combine items to raise value (ie: 3 onsies, or 5 pairs of socks). Toys We will be accepting all working and running children's toys. All toys need to be current with the times and cleaned so that you would allow your child to play with it. Please double check the manufacturer's web pages for current recall info. We will not be accepting ANY stuffed animals that do not talk or move. If your item has more than one piece, put the printed tag on the larger item and hand write a tag with your consignor #, and item # and place on all other pieces. If you have a lot of small pieces please put them in a bag together with a hand written tag on the bag. Please make sure that all toy pieces are included and have batteries. Remember to price using a $2.00 minimum. Please remember not to put anything over the bar code. Furniture and Equipment We will be accepting cribs, mattresses, highchairs, and other nursery furniture. Please double check the manufacturer's web pages for current recall info. If your item has more than one piece, put the printed tag on the larger item and hand write a tag with your consignor #, and item # and place on all other pieces. If you have a lot of small pieces please put them in a bag together with a hand written tag on the bag. Please make sure that all pieces are included. Car Seats We will be accepting all brands of car seats that have a manufacturer sticker dated within the last 4 years. Please make sure that your car seat hasn't been recalled. In order to resell a car seat you will need to sign a waiver that the car seat was never in an accident or isn't currently being recalled. Please see our FAQ for more on recalls. We will not sell a car seat we would not put our own child in. Safety comes first! |
