PREPARING YOUR ITEMS:

CLOTHING - All clothing must be washed, clean and free of ANY stains, damage, excessive wear, piling or offensive odor (smoke, mothballs, pet hair/smells, etc.). Items must be current styles and not out-dated. Clothing must be hung on hangers - no exceptions. Adult size wire hangers can be used even on infant clothing - they will fit fine. You can get these from your dry cleaner or purchase them at the Dollar Store or other discount store such as Walmart or Target. Any other hanger is also
acceptable.

- Inspect all clothing under bright lighting to check for stains
- Wash and dry clothing
- PREP TIP: Use scented dryer cloths for fresh scent
- PREP TIP: Hang immediately on hangers to minimize wrinkles
- PREP TIP: Ironing is not required, but goes a long way in   presentation
- PREP TIP:Consider making outfits and selling for one
  price. Put together pants, shirt, hat, shoes or any combo
  on a hanger. If you bought the outfit with the accessories
  sell them that way. Buyers love to buy complete outfits and
  you'll garner a higher price. Pin accessories to clothing or
  put in a Ziploc and pin to the hanger. Make sure to tape the
  Ziploc opening shut so it cannot be opened.
- PREP TIP: Put several of the same item on one hanger
and sell in a bundle (required for 0-12 mo.). Example: 3 onesies or 3 shirts. Note must all be  the same size.

SHOES- All shoes must be clean and in excellent condition
with no excessive wear. Soles should be CLEAN with no
signs of dirt.

- Inspect all shoes for excessive wear.
- Wipe down and remove dirt.
- PREP TIP: Place in Ziploc bag or include original box.

TOYS - All toys must be clean and in working order with
working batteries and must include all original parts and
pieces.

- Wipe down all toys with damp cloth or baby wipe.
- Tape all pieces to the main part of the toy or put in a
  Ziploc bag and tape to the toy. Shoppers are rough – they
  will separate toys, try them out, etc. If parts aren’t secured
  well enough, they will get lost and separated and make it
  difficult for your toys to sell.
- Replace any batteries. Dollar store batteries are fine. Item
  needs to be working at the sale so buyers can try them out.
- PREP TIP: Consider putting several of the same item in a
  Ziploc bag. Example: Action Figures or Matchbox Cars.

VHS/DVDS/CD's - All VHS/DVD/CD's must be in original packaging. No VHS/DVD/CD's without sleeves will be accepted. No VHS/DVDs or CD's that are copied or bootleg versions.

- Check any DVD's or Video games for scratches.
- PREP TIP: Consider putting several of the same genre
  in a Ziploc bag for a "lot" sale. But remember to face the
  title out so the buyer can see what it is. Tape the open end
  of the Ziploc bag to avoid bags being opened.
- PREP TIP: Missing game directions? Try downloading
  from the companies website

BABY EQUIPMENT- All Baby Equipment must be clean and in working order. Including original set up instructions is very helpful in selling, but not required. Baby equipment more than 10 years old not accepted unless vintage collectible (example: Pram strollers).

- Wash down ALL areas of the equipment. Wash any
  cloth elements that can be washed in washing machine.
- PREP TIP: Missing instructions? Try downloading from
  the companies website.
- PREP TIP: Include a printout from website or retail store
  that shows the retail value of the item. Buyers love to see
  the great bargain they are getting.
- If items have multiple pieces that might get separated (e.g.   bouncy seats and their activity bars, the 7 pieces that come with   your pack and play, cribs with 8 pieces), make sure that the   product tag is on the main piece. Hand write additional tags with   your consignor #, the description and mark them with 1 of 8, 2 of   8, 3 of 8, etc.

MATERNITY- All Maternity must be styles less than 3 years old. Must be clean and free of ANY stains, damage, excessive wear, piling or offensive odor.

BOOKS- All Books must be in excellent condition with no rips or excessive wear on covers or writing on the covers or interior pages. A name on the interior cover page is acceptable.

- Inspect books for writing and excessive wear
- PREP TIP: Consider putting several of the same type or
  age level into a Ziploc bag. Seal the top of the bag and
  make sure the titles are facing out.

General rule of thumb is to prepare items so they are appealing to buyers. Think: Would I buy this for my children?

DEADLINE TO SUBMIT ITEMS IS SUNDAY, APRIL 21st AT MIDNIGHT!!

SUPPLIES YOU WILL NEED:

• Hangers – any type – Simple wire hangers are best and will ensure your items don’t fall on the floor during the sale

• White card-stock for printing tags. Can be purchased at Staples or Office Max for about $8.00 for 250 sheets which yields you about 1500 tags. (Go ahead and share with friends)Safety Pins or Tagging Gun

• Tape (Packing tape is best)
  

MAKING YOUR PRODUCT TAGS

We have an online computer program for you to make your tags. You will input the items’ size, description, and price. Before printing your tags, you will also decide which item(s) you would like to discount or donate.

Discount – all items are sold for full price on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday. Sunday is 50% off day. You can indicate which
item(s) you would like discounted if it is still remaining on
Sunday by clicking the discount box on the tagging program.

Donating – for each item, you can click the donate box
online if you want to donate your item rather than take it
back home if it does not sell.

You must print your tags (6 to a page) on CARDSTOCK is required because regular paper rips too easily and falls off items much easier than heavier stock paper. You can find this paper at Target, Staples or other office stores.

CREATING YOUR TAGS IS VERY EASY AND VERY QUICK......

AFFIXING TAGS:

For clothing: The product tag must be affixed to the item's upper right hand shoulder (when the item laying on the table in front of you) -

Hang the garments on the hanger so that the hanger makes a question mark (?) when the clothing is lying on the table in front of you. See the clothing photo to the left.

Safety pin or tag gun the tag to the clothing. Pants must be hung and cannot be folded over (they will fall off). Pin the waist on both sides to the hanger with safety pins. It works great and your item can be fully seen on the racks

Clothing must be sorted by size and gender before you bring them to the sale. Banding them together with rubber bands is helpful for you and for us and will speed you through the drop off process. Normally takes about 20 to 30 min. for drop off.

For All other Items: The price tag should be affixed
using pins or tagging gun if cloth item or affixed with
packing tape. DO NOT TAPE OVER THE BARCODE.

PRICING

You must price in $1.00 increments
How you price your items is up to you. The best advice we
can give is consider what you would pay if you were buying
something used. Typically prices are 30-50% off original
retail. (If you are going to donate your items anyway, we
recommend that you do discount your item)


LOSS/THEFT/DAMAGE

It is rare, but loss and damage can happen. We do all that we can to prevent this including established security procedures and protocols, uniformed and undercover security work the event. As a consignor, you must sign a waiver stating that MONKEY'S KLOSET is not responsible for loss, theft or damage for the items submitted to the sale.
