Step 4: Print Your Barcodes

Sort​

All of your clothing items should be sorted by gender and size before you enter them into the system. You will also want to sort your inventory by like items. This will save you time! The system will remember the information from your last entry (except the description). You will then only have to type the description of next item.

​

Price

All items must be at least $2.00 and priced by the whole dollar.  See our PRICING GUIDE HERE.  Price your items based on what you would be excited to pay for them.  Shoppers will be comparison shopping. Whenever possible, we recommend using a description line to state the retail price. If you have any questions ask on our Consignor Facebook group.​

​

Description​

Complete and accurate descriptions help sell an item. Mention brand name and brief description. Being extremely descriptive discourages theft and can also help us match lost items with loose tags. 

​

There are two lines where you may describe. The first line you will need to put the brand. Second line put a complete and accurate description. If possible, mention the retail price on line two. This will help the shoppers realize what a great deal they are getting.

​

Make sure you use the correct category and size.  Please make sure read step 3 when deciding a category.  This will make a huge impact on use when setting up for the event.  We will need to know how much room we need for each category and size.

​

Discount​

On Saturday we have our discount (50%) day to the public. There are just a few that work Saturday morning that get to shop Friday evening, so you will see this on your sold items list on Friday night.

 

I highly suggest that you mark all items as discount. If “Check to Discount” is selected that item will be sold as a discounted item at the 1/2 off sale.  Any item(s) that is check to be donated will be discounted automatically. 

​

Your items has every chance to sell with over 2000 shoppers, unless it is over priced.  So give it an added chance to sell at the Saturday, 50% off Sale.  You will be happy you did.  It is better to get a bigger check and take home a smaller load.

​

Donate

You have the option to choose whether you would like an individual unsold item to be donated to a local charity or to have it back. You may change your mind at pick ups.  But please note: Items that you pick up and were marked as donate in the MSM system will need to be entered into the MSM again and reprinted.  Items that were not marked as donate and left will not be on your danate report but will be on your unsold items report.  This unsold items report can be used as your donate report in this case.  

​

Printing Tags​

Tags will print 6 to a page and will fill up a 8x11 sheet. Do not make tags smaller. The actual tag measures 3x3 when cut. 

 

Tags MUST be printed onto PLAIN WHITE CARD STOCK! Do not use tape over the bar codes of the tags or laminate the tags. .  

​

All bar codes must be crisp and clean (see pictures below) and printed with black ink. Print using your draft setting and using black and white.  Do not use the color setting if you have a color printer. 

 

If you change either the price, description, donate, or discount on a tag that is already printed, you MUST reprint the tag and put the NEW tag on your item. We will not accept tags with handwritten changes.  

​

When attaching your price tags to your items, please place them front and top of the item.  We need to be able to see the price quickly.  If it is not we will ask you to re tag at drop offs.
