Tag Instructions
Please note Tot Trade Charlotte offers 3 tagging options including 1) free online tagging 2) tagging template found under downloads 3) handwritten 3x5 cards.
Tot Trade Charlotte’s tagging policy ensures that consignors receive the proper credit for their items. Consignors will be asked to redo tags that do not match one of the three options.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT TAGGING:
- Please only use (1) one safety pin per card, oriented vertically.
* (1) Safety pin, center of tag, oriented vertically
- Minimum item price of $1.00. Only $1.00 increments. No $1.50, etc.
- After you have tagged your items, please bundle your clothing by size and gender. You may use rubber bands, zip ties, whatever you have to keep sizes together! Thanks for your help, this step will expedite the check-in process.
- PLEASE ONLY PRINT ON ONE SIDE OF THE CARD and USE ONLY ONE CARD PER ITEM. Items that have double-sided tags will not be sold and returned at the end of the sale.
- Competitively price your items. PRICE TO SELL! What would you pay? Normally 25-30% of retail is a good general figure to go by when pricing your items. We'd rather give you a bigger check than a lot of unsold items! See our Pricing Tips for more details on pricing your items.
TAGGING CLOTHING AND SHOES
Tot Trade Charlotte has put together some helpful very short videos on how to tag each of these items. Please see consignor page Tagging Examples.
Looking down at the garment, attach the tag vertically (up and down) with a safety pin (please do not use a straight pin) near the upper right side of the garment. All clothing items should be hung with the hook facing left.(like a question mark) Please use safety pins to hang pants, shorts and other accessories on the back on the shoulders rather than folding them over the hanger or pinning at the botton of a top. This will pull and possible tear your garment.
SHOES:
New this season there is a 10 pair limit per consignor. Please use zip ties or large safety pins to attach shoes. Pin card securely to shoes. Cards will be removed at check-out, so please remember this as you determine how to affix your cards. Please DO NOT use CLEAR packing tape around the entire shoe as it will leave a sticky residue on the shoes! Thanks.
PLEASE DO NOT USE SHOE BOXES! YOUR SHOES WILL BE SEPARATED FROM THE BOX!
TAGGING OTHER ITEMS
Toys, books, videos & small items can be placed in Ziploc bags. The bag's contents should be thoroughly described on the card. Please use clear packing tape to seal the bag shut to help keep hands out and pieces in.
*Video games will be checked at drop off and sealed by a Tot Trade Charlotte volunteer.
****Please be sure all pieces and parts are included with games and puzzles. Shoppers hate to get home with their new treasures and find that they are missing pieces and parts or broken!
On large items, simply tape the tag to the item for easy viewing and removal. If the item includes extra parts, please make note of them in the item's description. IMPORTANT: Place masking tape with your consignor number & price on the bottom or underneath side of each large item.
FINAL TAGGING STEP: Please write your consignor number on masking tape or use computer generated labels with your consignor number and place on EVERY item you bring to drop off. This is YOUR insurance policy that if your tag falls off we can either identify it and match the lost tag or return it to you at the end of the sale.
