Please group items together so that they will equal a value of at least $3.00.
If you are grouping clothing, please group outfits together so they match as much as possible. People don't want to have to search for a top or bottom to match a single item.

Due to security concerns at our recent sale, please do not rubber band grouped items together, please use cable ties or zip ties to tie the hangers together so they cannot come apart easily. Toys may be grouped together in Ziploc bags. For example, if you have some small toys to sell, put 3-4 together in a bag! $3.00 is the minimum price, so think about what you would pay $3.00 for! When you put a price tag on an item, make sure the tag is secure on the item. Use packing tape to affix the tag to the item, we need to remove every tag for our accounting. We want to make sure you get paid! If you put something in a Ziploc bag, tape it shut with packing tape, especially toys. Little hands often open the bags and then the toys are all spread around the room while mom is shopping.

All pants must be pinned to a hanger, not folded over, as they tend to end up on the floor. Please do not jam a hanger in a pair of pants. It will ruin the pants and they will look terrible. Safety pin the pants onto a hanger. Safety pin all sets and accessories securely together, with pants pinned to the hanger. Both pieces need to be viewable without unpinning them.

If you are selling a set, top and bottom, the best way to do this is to put them on separate hangers and zip tie the hangers together tightly. This will make it very clear that they go together. The items must be visible without taking them off the hanger, otherwise everything ends up on the floor.

If you have a shirt or something that looks like it might fall off a hanger, it will! Pin it to itself inside the hanger so it is sure to not fall off. We pick many things off of the floor and then they are separated from their other items and it is hard to keep track of.

NO UNDERWEAR - unless it is new and in the package!

Accessories
We will take belts and other accessories, (tights need to be new in package) but NO JEWELRY due to the new lead laws.

Shoes
The easiest way with our new tags seems to be to put them in zip-lock bags and tape the tag to the outside. Also tape the top of the zip lock bag closed for security.

Maternity Clothing
Maternity clothing does not sell as well as the children's clothing. Please bring your best and price it to sell!

******************Special Note: Children's Boutique Clothing**************

Your high dollar boutique name brands will be placed on the sales floor in a special "Wee-Sale Boutique". This will give you the chance to get top dollar for your more expensive items. Your boutique items should be priced at 30-40% of what you paid, if they are in excellent condition. Lilly Pulitzer is very popular, you could price that brand at 50% of retail. 

This is the largest selection of lightly used (and NEW) boutique clothing ever assembled at a consignment sale. Other sales have copied our format, but none have come close to duplicating the quality that we get from our consignors (that is according to our consignors who shop at many sales).

We will also accept boutique shoes, diaper bags, bedding and other items as well, please just ask at drop-off!

Please separate your boutique clothing at drop off. These items will be sorted. Clothing placed in the boutique will be at our discretion. If we do not feel that your items are suitable for the boutique area, we will place them in the regular racks for sale. These items must be in excellent condition as well, if they are boutique -- yet worn, they will be placed on the regular racks. 

Only clothing bought in children boutique shops will be placed in the boutique.  It will depend on the name brand. We are talking about brands like Lilly Pulitzer, Anavini, Baby Sarah, Nick Nack Patty Wack, Sarah Louise, Flap Happy, Baby LuLu -- Here is a link to a list of examples, click here. Some higher end brands that you can buy at a discount at Marshalls or TJ Max will NOT be included. Ralph Lauren is not boutique.

**************************************************************************

Sporting Gear
Sporting gear sells well, as mentioned before, please price appropriately. If there are balls that go with an item, put in Ziploc backs and tape together with clear packing tape. Lacrosse equipment also sells very well. As with all shoes, cleats and sporting shoes must be in good condition and clean. Sailing gear is very desirable. Make sure life jackets are in good working order and dry suits and spray tops cannot have tears.
Shoes

Bedding
It is best to package a bedding set together in a  clear plastic bag with zipper. These can also be purchased at discount stores, or re-use the ones you have at home from recently purchased bedding. (those new zip lock big bags are great for this!) Try not to overprice your bedding. We know it was expensive, but think about what you would pay for it. Sets over $50 rarely sell. If you have boutique bedding you might be better to try it on eBay.

Blankets
Hang and pin blankets over hangers so that shoppers can see them. If they are small receiving blankets, group 2 or 3 together in a Ziploc bag and seal with clear plastic tape. Safety pin tag to Ziploc bag. 

Breast Pumps and Bottles, Sippy Cups, etc
Breast pumps sell very well, make sure that all accessories are sterilized and clean. Any bottles, sippy cups, pacifiers or anything a child eats with with MUST be BPA free. We will turn away any items that are not BPA free. This is per the new CPSC laws.

Misc. Items
Bibs, rattles, socks, bows, etc group together appropriately in Ziploc bags. Seal with clear packing tape. Pin or packing tape the tag to Ziploc bag. It also helps to write your consignor code on the Ziploc with a Sharpie in case the tag comes off during the sale.

Toys, Furniture, Equipment
Must be clean and in working order (batteries included). Small parts must be bagged and attached to the main part very securely. If parts get separated it will not sell. Games should be taped closed. Puzzles, books, videos and small toys should be grouped accordingly and put in Ziploc bags. Secure with clear packing tape tag to the Ziploc bag. It is also good to write your consignor number and info on the Ziploc bag with a Sharpie in case the tag comes off. Puzzles should be wrapped securely in clear Saran wrap to keep the pieces intact. We do not accept plush animals (stuffed animals), they do not sell!

Cribs

NOTE: Due to all the recent crib recalls, Wee-Sale will no longer accept drop-side cribs. Please check to see if your crib has been recalled at this website: http://www.cpsc.gov/index.htm, contact your manufacturer for a conversion kit. If you have had the drop-side immobilized per the manufacturer's instructions and have all the paperwork, we will accept the crib. 

TOYS NOT PACKAGED APPROPRIATELY WILL BE TURNED AWAY. When tagging large toys it is best to also attach a piece of masking tape to the toy with your consignor information. This will enable us to sell your toy even if the tag comes off!

Due to the recent toy recalls as well as the new lead laws, we ask our consignors to check the  U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission website to make sure your toys, equipment and car seats have not been recalled. This item will be added to our consignor checklist at drop-off. We will not take children's jewelry due to the new lead laws. Please remember YOU are the re-seller, not Wee-Sale. We are just facilitating the sale.

Diaper Pails and Potty Training Items
We WILL be selling diaper genies, diaper pails, potty training rings and little potties. HOWEVER, they MUST be clean! Please wash them with a bleach solution thoroughly. Any items which are not clean will not be accepted at drop-off.

Car Seats
Your car seat must have been manufactured within the past five years. It must not be subject to recall or have been in an accident. Here is the website to check to see if it has been recalled, U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. All seat covers and straps must be thoroughly cleaned. Car seats will be closely inspected for safety reasons. You will be asked to fill out and sign a car seat questionnaire at drop-off. Please remove the covers and wash before you bring them in. Unfortunately our charity cannot take car seats any more, so if your car seat does not sell, we will have to throw it away if you don't come pick it up on Sunday.

Step 2. Price Your Items  

NOTE: There is a $3 minimum for items. If you have things which you would like to sell that do not meet the minimum, bundle things together.

We really suggest you set the price at 20% of the retail value. Less expensive brands should be priced lower. Baby Equipment, Furniture and Large Indoor/Outdoor Toys usually sell for more and are in high demand (you can go to 30% for these things). We have an abundance of 0-4T sizes, so these items should be priced a bit lower in order to sell. It is important that you not set your prices too high, the object is to make sure things sell! Think about what you would pay for an item, and what you would consider a "great deal".  

Step 3. Enter Your Items  

COMPUTER ENTRY (It's easy!)***BE SURE YOU HAVE REGISTERED --
(Register at the top of this page!)

Gather your items in a neat pile beside you at the computer.

Register - You will be asked for your name, address, email and you will choose a password (Write this down.)  Once you finish, you will be given a Consignor ID  (write this down!!)

Go to "work with consigned inventory" to start entering your items.

Enter your descriptions and prices on the Web. Enter a description and price for each of your items. Do this carefully and accurately. You will be able to save your work and come back to it later if you'd like.

Choose if you would like to DONATE items to charity which do not sell. You will be able to choose NONE, ALL or select certain items to donate after the sale if they do not sell.

For our Annapolis sale, our charity is the Salvation Army.

For our Easton sale, we will be donating to St. Martin's Barn. They assist over 400 families a month on the Eastern Shore of Maryland who need help! 

Choose if you want to discount the items on our sale days. Clothing often sells on the last day so please consider the discounting option. Definitely consider letting things go 1/2 price if you are going to donate them to our charity anyway!

PRINT your inventory sheet and bring with you to drop off. You can print it from your mail consignor page.  

 Step 4. Print Your Own Labels 
Everyone prints their own tags!

All you need is 65 pound card stock -- 8 1/2 x 11 card stock in any light color.

Go to your consignor page, click on print all tags, then it will open up your browser, everything will be formatted for you already. If you use a mac, make sure your browser is set to print things at 100%, if the mac shrinks your tags, they will not scan!

PLEASE ALIGN your printer!!!!

When you drop off your items, we will scan your tags to make sure they will scan without a problem. If they do not, we will print you new tags, as if your tags do not scan properly it slows down our check-out procedure  (which is tough if there is a long line of people waiting to check-out)

Tips for consignors on printing tags

Here are some tips help ensure you print their tags in such a way that the barcode will scan easily.

• Don't print too dark - it is better to print a little light than too dark. Don't print on the "High Quality" setting, print on the normal setting. This is especially true for inkjet printers. Some cardstock papers can "soak up" the ink when it is sprayed too dark, causing the edges of the barcode to be fuzzy and not scan. The edges of a barcode need to be crisp.
• Align your print cartridges - printer cartridges in inkjet printers can get out of alignment, especially when you change cartridges. This can cause the edge of the barcode not to be clean and straight. There should be a utility that came with your printer software that allows you to align the print cartridges.
• Don't use designer cardstock - Designer cardstock that is "fiberous" can soak up ink from an inkjet and cause the edges of a barcode to be fuzzy. Use a standard dense cardstock. Avoid carstock with a "slick" surface, as it can cause ink to smudge.           

Once you print your tags then you will pin the tags to the upper right shoulder of the garment as you are facing the garment. Please use masking tape if you are taping the tags to an item like books or boxes so the items do not tear. Feel free to use packing tape if you want the item to affix to plastic items. Please do not tape over the bar code. Remember when  you are taping the tags on that we have to remove and save them! Tape tags to outside of ziplock bags instead of putting them inside as it will be faster for us to remove them this way :)

Security tip: If you are very concerned with the security of your items, take a piece of scotch tape and tape it over the pin on your garment items. Email me if you have any questions about this! info@wee-sale.com.

Step 5. Drop off your items 

Please bring a copy of your inventory with you to drop-off! Drop-Off is right where the sale is. See the home-page for specific times and dates.  For our Annapolis sale we recommend making an appointment for consignors with over 100 items. If you do not have 100 items or if there are no appointments available, then you may come anytime during our drop-off hours, (hours on the main page of our website). No appointments necessary for Easton.

When you come to the sale with your items, we will check your items in, afterward, you will place your items in the appropriate areas within the sale. We will have volunteers there to help you as much as we can, but if it gets busy you will need to place all the items around the room yourself, so plan on allowing an hour for Drop Off.

Please bring in the tags for any items which you do not intend to drop off so we know for our inventory that you did not drop them.

NOTE: If you are bringing any furniture to the sale that needs to be assembled (cribs, etc) please allow extra time at drop off for you to set it up. People are much more likely to purchase things that are set up so they can visualize it in their home!

Step 6. Check Sales

With our online inventory system, you will be able to check our website on the last night of the sale (Sunday) to see how your things sold!

Step 7. Pick Up Your Unsold Things

It is very important if you want to pick up your things to come before the deadline. This is very important since we can't store your items. We have to completely clear out of the building so there can be no exceptions. You will receive a detailed inventory sheet (or you can print it off of our website), then you may gather your items and your check will be mailed to you within two days. ALL ITEMS LEFT AFTER PICK UP WILL BE DONATED TO CHARITY, SINCE WE HAVE TO BE OUT OF THE FACILITY.

Please allow time on pick-up day to gather your things. Unfortunately we do not have the girlpower to sort all of the items being picked up.

Also remember, consignors may shop early. The Consignor's Pre-sale is Thursday night -- don’t forget to come shop! Also, you will be able to shop first during the 1/2 price sale! See the main page for times.

One of the only reasons we can offer you 55% is because of our volunteers. If you can volunteer please check our volunteer page to see how you can help so you can shop during the volunteer shop! 

Step 8: Payment

All checks will be mailed within 7 days of the close of the sale. All checks that have not been deposited after 60 days will be voided and consignors forfeit these funds.  Should you misplace your check prior to the 60 days and wish us to send you a new one you must contact us by email before the 60 days is up to request a replacement check. After 60 days if you want a check re-cut, there will be $31 stop payment fee (standard PNC business charge) taken out of check. All checks will be mailed to the address given at drop-off.
