Tagging instructions of your items for our contributors...
Start collecting items and tagging them for the upcoming 2024 Fall/Winter Sale Sept. 21 - Nov. 23, 2024.

Contributors - How to tag your items...
Write in RED ink on the tag and the price will stay the same for the duration of the seasonal sale until the LAST WEEK of this sale. Black, blue AND RED inked price tags are 50% off the shown price. It will not be discounted during the 50% off special sales days. Example: If you write $5.00 in red ink on the tag, the buyer pays $5.00 during the 50% off sale the last week of the sale, it will be $2.50! Tagging Shoes...
Tape one tag to the bottom of one shoe and pin the other tag to the top of the shoe or on the shoestring. Don't damage the shoes with pins or tape. Rubber band or use string or yarn to tie the shoes together. 
Use clear packing tape to tape tag to item. (below) Do not mar or damage the item when the tape is removed. 
|
Example below of pinned pants to hanger. Safety pins should be close to middle of pants to the hanger. 
For items that you do not want damaged by clear packing tape, please put them in zipper bags, tape the bags shut and tape price tag to the OUTSIDE of the bag. (below)
