SPONSOR:
  Hiland Preschool is the non-profit organization sponsoring the sale.  Money raised will be used for operating expenses, toys and supply replacement, and room renovations.

GENERAL INFO:
  Hiland Preschool is offering to display and sell your gently worn children’s clothes* (size newborn to children’s 12,) select baby equipment, toys and books on a consignment basis in our Fellowship Hall.  There is a $7.00 vendor fee deducted from your proceeds to offset supply and advertising costs. (No fee charged for volunteers.)  Hiland Preschool will advertise the sale, organize, display and sell your items to the public.  Following the sale, we will tabulate your sales and issue you a check dividing the sales as follows:
                                                          
 VENDOR 60%       Preschool 40%
            * We will accept only seasonally appropriate clothes.

HOW TO SELL:

1.
    
Stop by the Administration Bldg Monday through Friday 8:30 am – 4:00 pm or Sundays between 9:00 am – 11:00        pm to sign up for a vendor number, pick up tags and hangers, and schedule a drop-off   time. Please call                    412-364-9000 to assure the bldg will be open if you have to come from a distance.  Tags and hangers          will be available through the Wednesday prior to the sale.

2.     
Wash, iron and make your clothes as saleable as possible (i.e. replace buttons, remove stains, etc.) In particular,            make sure that baby equipment is scrubbed clean.  NOTE:  We will not accept items that are stained, broken,                outdated, or that we judge unfit to sell.  We cannot accept underwear.  
We will quality control your items on          drop-off and return to you any non-saleable items.

3.     
Hang clothes on the appropriate sized hangers provided.  You are welcome to use your own hangers but they will          not be returned to you.     LIMIT 150 TOTAL ITEMS. (CLOTHES AND TOYS)

4.     
Decide on a fair price for each item.  Price the items with the tags provided.  Clothing items are to have the tags            secured with safety pins.  Equipment, toys and books tags will be secured with tape. (See instructions on Toy                Guideline sheet for specifics.)  PLEASE NOTE:  You MUST use the tags provided.  The tag must include your vendor      number, size, price and a description of the article. (See tag sample on next page.)  PLEASE PRICE ITEMS IN            MULTIPLES OF   $.50


5.      Bring your tagged items to Fellowship Hall at the drop-off time you have signed up for.  Fellowship Hall is located on      the upper level of the Education Building.  Please park in the upper lot behind the church bldg. 


6.     
Following the sale on Saturday, any unsold items must be picked up between 5:30 pm and 6:30 pm. We cannot          store unsold items.  If items are not picked up, they will be donated Saturday evening.


7.     
Vendor checks can be picked up one week after the sale, on Sunday evening October 3rd 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm in the                        Administration Bldg.  If not picked up, checks will be mailed on the following Monday.  Tags will be available for            pick up, if desired, with your check and will be available for pick up in the Administration Bldg for 2 weeks                    thereafter.

8.     
The RED TAG SALE  (50% OFF) will be held on Saturday afternoon from 1:00 – 3:00 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.

PRICING GUIDELINES:
 


1.   General Rule of Thumb - Price clothes and equipment 1/4 to 1/3 of original price depending on brand, style and           condition. Remember, the idea is to sell your items, so don't price too high. Keep in mind what YOU would be               willing to pay for the item.

 

2.  Try to keep outfits together (matching/coordinating shirt and shorts/skirt) if that is how your child wore it. Label outfit       with ONE TAG designating it as 2 pieces. Please pin the pieces together with an additional safety pin.

 
3.  Describing the item will help us if the tag falls off. If you want to keep track of what items sold, you can make an              itemized list for yourself by placing a coordinating number on the lower back of each tag. However, please                      remember that you must pick up your tags as stated in #7 of ‘How to Sell’ to cross reference your list.
