Printing Tags:
- All tags have to be printed on cardstock paper. If you cannot print your tags after you have entered your items please call Kim at (502) 220-5789.
- When you register a consignor number will be assigned to you.
- If the barcode on your tags look smeared or seems like the lines are running together please call Kim at (502) 220-5789. If the barcode can not be scanned it could cause a problem when a buyer is checking out their items.
- All clothing items MUST HAVE the size on the tag.
Pricing Guidelines:
- Mainly ask yourself “what would I pay for this item?”
- Normally the cheaper you price your items the better they sell, take into account appearance, age, and brand. Just remember, if it doesn’t sell you have to come back and pick it up or donate it.
- Items in great condition can typically be priced 30%-50% of what new retail price is. Also brand makes a difference on pricing (boutique and name brand sell for more if they are in great condition). Items that are new in box or with tag sell for more generally, 60%-75%.
- Clothes that are neatly hung on the hanger sell better. Make sure they are washed, ironed, and hung nicely.
Preparing your Items:
- Use wire hangers. Plastic hangers will break and clothing will end up on the floor. We will not accept any plastic hangers.
- Make sure all clothes are clean, wrinkle free, no holes, zippers work, no missing buttons and odor free.
- All toys must have all pieces. Toys with small pieces can be placed in baggies and secured to the larger toy.
- Check the batteries in all toys. Toys that are not working will not sale. Consignors will be charged $1.00 for each battery that Lots 4 Tots have to replace.
- When hanging clothes the hanger needs to face left when you are looking at the front of the clothes. See picture below.
6. Pants, shorts and skirts should be secured to hangers using safety pins pinned to the top part of the hanger.
7. To avoid damaging the clothing, pin the tag on at a seam or through the tag on the clothing. If you are using a tagging gun, TAGS MUST BE ATTACHED TO THE TAG ON THE PIECE OF CLOTHING.
8. Clothing sells better on a hanger than in a bag.
9. To hang 2 or 3 piece outfits put the 1st item on the hanger and hang the rest of the outfit behind the 1st piece with the pin going around the hanger so that all the weight is on the hanger and not on the clothes. See picture below.

If you leave this tab or are timed out of the system all of the items at the bottom of the page will disappear. DO NOT WORRY. They are still in the database and can be assessed via the Manage Inventory Screen.
