Seller's Tagging Instructions

Please read the seller's tagging instructions in their entirety. You can also download a copy here.

You can also view past seller reports from some of our top selling consignors to see an example of pricing:

We realize the Seller’s Tagging Instructions are quite detailed. Please remember all changes are made with the consignor in mind. As with every sale, we strive to improve procedures to better serve our customers and in turn better support our consignors. Please keep the following in mind:

“Any merchandise found not to meet the standards outlined in the Seller’s Tagging Instructions will be pulled from the floor. As selling floor space is at a premium, all merchandise meeting LBD’s standards will receive priority. As the sale progresses, if time permits, and space is available, merchandise not meeting standards may be labeled as such and placed on a “stained, torn, out-of-date” rack.

LBD is confident this procedure protects both the customer and consignor. As always, we encourage all consignors to visit the sale during Thursday and Saturday mornings to better understand the nature of the sale and any procedural changes.

All items must be entered into the system by 11:59pm, September 7th.

All consignors must read & comply with the following instructions. Failure to adhere to the Seller’s Tagging Instructions may result in the loss of merchandise.

Please do not spend your valuable time entering items not meeting LBD standards. Our LBD Stain Team will be diligent in pulling items not meeting LBD standards.

Supplies Needed

Medium or Large Sized Safety Pins (Do not use straight pins, small gold/silver safety pins, or clothes pins to secure your garment.)
Packing Tape (Do not use scotch tape)
65 lb or greater WHITE or LIGHT PASTEL card stock (Do not use designer card stock that is “fibrous” or has a slick surface.)
Hangers (all outfits are to be on hangers)
Rubber bands or zip ties (if bundling hangers together or zip ties can be used for shoes)
Ziploc Bags (for toys with small parts, packaging infant items like onesies, bibs, etc. to sell together)

Printing your Tags

Your printer will print 6 tags per sheet.
Use only 65lb or greater WHITE or LIGHT PASTEL card stock when printing tags. Do not use designer card stock that is “fibrous” or has a slick surface.
Print your tags using “Normal.” Do not print using “High Quality.”
Align your print cartridges before printing your tags. Printer cartridges in inkjet printers can get out of alignment, especially when you change cartridges. This can cause the edge of the barcode to not be clean and straight.
Don’t scale the printing. Print it at 100%, just like the tag generated. If you use a “shrink to fit” option or change the page scaling to something other than 100%, it can adjust the size of the barcode.

Pricing your Items

Price only in 50¢ increments (i.e. .50, 1.00, 1.50, etc.)
If you change the price of an item or the half price designation of an item in the system, you must reprint a tag to avoid shopper confusion. At the register, we will use the lower price for an item if there is a discrepancy between the tag and the online system.
ONCE SALE HAS BEGUN, PRICES CANNOT BE CHANGED AND HALF PRICE DESIGNATION CANNOT BE CHANGED.

Important Things to Remember when Tagging

Description

Choose the correct category and enter a detailed description of your item (ie. GAP Blue Striped Sweater). If your tag should become separated from the item, a detailed description enables volunteers to properly locate the item and allows us to search our inventory to re-tag an item that has lost a tag.
Please do not use descriptions such as “book”, “shirt”, “outfit”, “jeans”, etc…

Size

Please note sizing. If shrinkage is a factor, please indicate on tag.
Please do not combine two different sizes into one outfit.
WE ONLY ACCEPT CHILDREN’S CLOTHES UP TO 14/16.
NOTE: WE DO NOT ACCEPT JUNIOR-SIZED CLOTHING. However, we will accept sizes XXS, XS, SMALL, 00, and 0 from retailers such as Abercrombie, Aeropostale, Charlotte Russe, American Eagle, Aerie, Hollister, Rue 21, Pink, Nike, Under Armour, Adidas, etc. All clothes must be labeled correctly, with the exact size of the clothing matching the description on the tag. (For example, you cannot try to sell a size 3 pair of juniors shorts by labeling it as a size S.) The clothing must be stylish and current trends in these sizes. **NO adult clothing styles or sizes.

Discount/Donate

If you DO NOT WANT TO SELL AT HALF PRICE on Saturday, please check the appropriate box when entering your items in MSM.
A large Red Dot will print on your tag to indicate the item should not be sold HALF PRICE.
If your half price dot does not print red, please outline with red marker or red pen to avoid shopper confusion.
If you would like to donate your remaining items at the end of the sale, please remember to check the Donate Box when entering your items in MSM. **If you are choosing to donate your item, please be sure it is also marked as half price. This will give the item a greater chance to sell on half price day.
All items not picked by designated pick-up time will be donated. Details about donated items can be found on the Pick-Up page.

You must consign at least 10 items to participate in the sale. There is a limit of 1,000 total items per consignor.
