  Pricing
  Remember you decide the price for your recycled treasures. Try to decide what you would likely pay for a garment, accessory or home furnishing.

  • Use whole dollar increments for example $5.00, $6.00.

  • Check the discount box when using our online pricing system. This allows a second chance for you to sell an item that might have been overpriced.

  • Price items to sell. It is wonderful to see your treasures become someone else's!

  • As a general rule price items starting at 1/3 of the original price. Clothing that is new with tags sell for more.

  Printing Tags

  • All tags must be printed on white cardstock paper. Template allows six tags per page.

  • Print on normal resolution making sure your toner is not running low.

  • Edit information in the inventory system and reprint any mistakes, do not mark through with a pen. Our scanners will be unable to read the tag.

  • Printing tags goes much faster if like sizes are grouped together for faster data entry.

  Merchandise

  • Item Limit: 125

  • Group items by size. Use rubber bands to group like sizes for easy transport

  • Clothing must be current and in gently used or excellent condition

  • Remember all clothing should be hung facing the same direction. When the item is facing you the hanger should resemble a question mark

  • Zip the zippers and button the buttons, presentation increases your profits.

  • Use tagging gun or medium sized safety pins to attach tags to existing tag or seem of garment.

  • Shoes must be in excellent condition with very little wear inside or out.

  • Pants and Skirts should be hung on retail clip hangers.

  • Suits or Clothing Sets should be hung on retail hangers with the bottom garment (pant, skirt) behind the top garment (shirt, jacket).
