CLOTHING

• Must look and smell clean. Wash all clothing and use a stain stick if necessary. Put wrinkled clothing in the dryer with a wet washcloth or iron heavily wrinkled clothing.                           
• Hang all clothing. Hangers can be plastic tube, department store, wire,or pant clip hangers.                                                  
• The hanger hook should point to the left like a question mark when looking at it. Hang size 0-6 clothing on child-size hangers and sizes 7-18 on adult-size hangers. Old Navy and department stores are great places to get free hangers (they throw away hangers daily!).  WalMart & Dollar stores sell child-sized, plastic, multi-pack tube hangers at a great price.                         
• Hanging pants: Attach safety pins through the middle of the waist band and to the TOP part of the hanger to ensure that pant will not slide. If you can find them, the best hangers to use for pants are clip hangers like the ones used in department stores. Save them when you shop! Pants folded over the hanger will not be accepted.                                    
• Hanging sets: Most sets can be placed on one hanger. Safety pin through both clothing pieces AND around the top of hanger (this will prevent pants from weighing down the shirt and causing a possible tear).
• DO NOT safety pin pants to the bottom of the shirt OR bottom of the hanger. Pants should hang on the outside of the shirt, so both pieces can be viewed easlily.
• If multiple hangers are needed, use rubberbands or zip ties to attach hangers together.        
• Remember: Clothing is sold on hangers, so hangers will not be returned to consignor. Unsold clothing will be returned on hangers.

SHOES

• Must be like new! Please bring your best! We will not accept shoes with excessive wear, scruffs, dirty or worn down soles. Magic erasers help clean shoes really well and some shoes you can put in the washing machine.              
• Pairs of shoes should be secured together with zip ties or curling ribbon. If they cannot be secured together you can put them in ziploc bags.

TOYS, BOOKS, GAMES, PUZZLES

• Clean all toys and baby equipment thoroughly.  Please test to make sure that toys and equipment are working properly. Battery operated toys must include working batteries (these can be purchased inexpensively at local discount stores).  Magic erasers take crayon off of most toys and desks etc.                                   
• Package:  Keeping tags and multiple items attached is essential for your items to sell. Bag all small parts belonging to toys/equipment in ziploc bags and tape the bag shut with clear packing tape. Fasten the bag securely to the item with ribbon, tape, or zip ties. Items must include ALL working parts.     
• Boxes for games and puzzles should be taped shut, use painters tape so it doesn't damage the box.                         
• Use clear plastic wrap around wooden puzzles to keep them together.       

The following items will display and sell better if they are hung:

• Bedding, receiving blankets, children's comforters. Sheets can be in a ziploc bag with the size clearly marked.
• Swaddlers
• Snuglis and Wearables
• Diaper Bags
• Backpacks
• Accessories- socks, hats, tights, gloves, bows, ties, belts, new packaged underwear etc. These can be in ziploc bags, clearly marked and we will have accessory hooks for them to hang on a rack.                                             

LARGE ITEMS, BABY GEAR, STROLLERS

• Clean, clean and clean again. These items sell best if they are clean. Think about if you would want to put your baby/child in this bouncy seat, exersaucer or stroller. Absolutely no crumbs. Many of the covers come off and you can machine wash.

• CLICK HERE to login to your JBF account. Make sure you are signed up for our event. 

• Even if you have consigned before you must "sign up" for the current sale.    ​  
• Once logged in, enter "Enter my Tags"   
• Use the tagging website how to videos if you are unsure how to enter your items but it's so easy. You can find these videos under the HELP tab.
• You can use rapid entry to make it easier, so tag all clothing by gender and size together using the rapid entry option. Enter books together, toys together etc. The system will autopopulate categories and size so you just fill in the description and price.                              
• Use our Pricing Guidellines to help with entering your items. We recommend pricing 1/3 of retail price. Think about what you would pay for that item at the sale. It is also recommended to allow your items to go to 50% on the last day of the sale for selling success. It is up to you to either donate your unsold items or pick them up after the sale. 

Guidelines to print your tags:

• YOU MUST "SELECT ALL" or "SELECT ALL ON A PAGE" on the left side at the top of your entered tags in order to print

• Use white 8.5 X 11 CARDSTOCK, 67lb minimum.  No regular copy paper will be accepted.

• Use "Print Tags".

• Adobe Acrobat must be installed.

• Paper orientation must be portrait.

• Please print with best quality to ensure the items can be read by scanners.

• No handwritten information will be accepted on tags.

• Having trouble printing? Try another browser!

• Or Save the file as PDF and take it to your local copy store to print the tags.

• Email Sally at sallyconley@jbfsale.com if you still cannot print your tags.

• Attach tags to your clothing using safety pins or a tagging gun. Please see tagging gun guidelines HERE so you don't put holes in your clothing. Tags attached with safety pins should be attached to the upper right hand corner of the item as you face the item. Tags attached with a tagging gun should be placed through the tag of the item or through a seam, NOT straight through the fabric.                                                
• Attach tags to your toys or other items using safety pins, tagging gun or packing tape. Do not place tape over the barcode as it makes the barcodes difficult for our scanners to read. If you must place tape over a barcode please make sure that there are no wrinkled in the tape over the barcode.            
• Store your items in a clean, dry place until you are ready to drop off at our sale. Put a dryer sheet in the box/bin to keep your items smelling fresh.              
• We have lots of tagging how to videos to help with all aspects of preparing and tagging your items.                                  
• Tagging Gun: If you are interested in ordering a tagging gun, you can find great deals on ebay and Amazon. Dennison and Arrow seem to be good brands (get the 2" size barbs). Remember to be very careful when using a tag gun and tag through the size tag or inside lip in the neck area, since we will not accept clothing with holes. Tagging gun do's and don'ts pictures right HERE                                   
• Safety pins: Please use 1" or larger safety pins: NO straight pins or small gold safety pins.
