HOW TO SELL: Sign up for a vendor number as discussed above. Pick up a vendor info sheet, tags and hangers at this time and sign up for a drop-off time. Supplies will be available until the Wednesday before the sale. Each vendor may bring 150 items to sell, so be particular which items you choose and decide on a fair price for each item.  Hang clothes and sort by gender and size (ex. All boy clothes NB-12 & all girl NB-12 separated)Tag items with the tag being on the right shoulder if looking at the item hung on the hanger, as instructed, making sure your vendor # is on  the top line of both halves of the tag. (if the tag is not filled out we can/will not give you proper credit). Please do not hang pajamas!!  Bring items at the drop-off time you signed up for (Weds, Thurs or Fri before the sale.) There is a $7.00 vendor fee deducted from your proceeds to offset supply and advertising costs. (No fee charged for volunteers) As items sell, we tear off the bottom portion, sort all the tags, add your sales up, and issue you a check for 60% of this amount, minus the $7.00 fee to participate (if you don’t volunteer).  NOTE: If your item total exceeds 150, additional fees will be assessed. Items that do not sell must be picked up between 5:30 and 6:30 pm the Saturday of the sale or you can designate them for donation when you sign up. We cannot store unsold items. If items are not picked up, they will be donated Saturday evening.

The RED TAG SALE: (50% OFF) will be held on Saturday afternoon from 1-3 pm. To designate an item for “red tag” simply use the specially stamped tags. If an item sells at the “red tag” price, the commission rate remains the same based on half of the original price. You may red tag all, some or none of your items. All items will be automatically reduced by 25% during the red tag sale; however, the commission will be deducted from the Preschool, rather than the vendor. If you are planning to donate unsold items, we encourage you to red tag all of your items to maximize your chances for selling them.

 Tags will be available for pick up only with your check and will be available for pick up in the Administration Bldg for 2 weeks thereafter.
