Before you start tagging, please ensure all items are clean, fully functional, and complete.See below for tagging and prep information for clothing, shoes, toys & hard items, books, and soft items. Video Guide: How to tag, hang and prep items. 👗 ClothingAll clothing items must be displayed on hangers. Tags get attached to the clothing's left armpit or hip. See exceptions and details below.Tag Placement: We ask tags be put in certain areas to make it easier for shoppers to see tag. However, tag placement is not more important than keeping your clothes hole free. If you are nervous about using a tagging gun in the armpit, where we suggest, put it through the clothing's fabric tag.Tagging ToolPreferred Tag PlacementOK Tag Placement1.

Safety PinsLeft armpit or front left chest pocket.Left hip seam. Existing clothing tag.❌Straight Pins ❌ Do not use straight pins. They poke shoppers and workers! ❌Hang ALL clothing: Free Hangers: We provide hangers at drop-off while supplies last.The "Question Mark" Rule: Always face the hanger hook to the left so it looks like a question mark (?).Hang Pants, Shorts & Skirts: Best: Use a pants specific/clip hanger.Great: Using a regular hanger, stretch the waistband around the sides so it "wears" the bottoms, or slide the hanger ends through the belt loops.OK: Safety-pin the waist corners to the bottom crossbar of a hanger. Note: Pants tend to slide to one side, making them harder for shoppers to see.❌ No draping pants over the crossbar. They will slide off, get trampled on the floor, and won't sell.
Hang Multi-Piece Sets (Outfits):Best: Use a specialized multi-piece or sets hanger.Great (Option A): Use two separate hangers. Wrap a rubber band tightly around both metal hooks to lock them together.Great (Option B): Use one hanger. Stretch the bottoms over the frame first, then layer the matching shirt over the top.❌ No hanging the top and tagging the pants directly into the shirt fabric. The heavy pants will rip holes in the top.👟 ShoesShoes get handled a lot by parents and kids. Keep them securely paired!Keep Together: Connect shoes tightly using string, zip ties, or a tagging gun (if the shoe has fabric). For sneakers, tie the shoelaces tightly together.Tag Attachment: Place the tag inside the shoe or attach it securely with a tagging gun, zip tie, or string.❌ No taping tags to the bottom of the shoe. Boxes & Ziplocks: Not recommended. Shoppers will open them to check sizes and fit. If you must use a box or bag, tag the actual shoe, not the container.Backup Plan: Write your seller barcode number directly on the box/bag just in case.🧸 Toys & GearToys must work! Include working batteries so shoppers can test them.Child-Proofing: Kids love to play with toys at the sale. Secure all parts tightly.Small Pieces: Put tiny accessories into a Ziploc bag. Tape the bag completely shut with clear packaging tape, then tape the bag securely to the main toy.Tag Placement: Use clear packing tape to attach the tag anywhere visible that won't ruin the toy's finish.Pro-Tip: Write your seller barcode number on any attached bags or loose pieces in case they get separated from the main item.📚 Books & MediaAlways use Blue Painter's Tape to attach tags so covers do not rip when peeled off.Single Books: Tape the tag to the back outside cover, ideally covering the book's printed barcode.Book Bundles: Keep book sets together using string wrapped tightly both horizontally and vertically, or seal them inside a large, clear Ziploc bag.Bundle Tagging: Tape the tag to the back cover of the main book, or attach it to the bundle's outer ribbon/bag.🎒 Soft Items (Bags, Blankets, Slings, Mats)We hang anything we can (diaper bags, baby carriers, nap mats, blankets) to make them easier to shop.Tag Placement: When you are looking at the item, attach the tag securely to the top right corner of the item. They will be hung up with hanger facing left. Attachment: Use a tagging gun or safety pins. No straight pins.Multi-Part Items: If something has matching accessories, zip-tie or string them together.NEXT STEP: DROP OFF ➡️
