Preparing your Items
Members who want to sell
must have their items labeled before the Friday night sale.
·
Bring only spring/summer
items for this sale.

items; not household goods.
·
Items need to be clean
and in good repair.
·
Labels should be 1”x
1” pieces of masking tape.
·
Print the number you
were assigned for the sale in the upper left corner, the size/description of
the item in the center, and the asking price in the lower right corner.
·
Price items in 25 cent
increments to make checkout and accounting easier.
·
If the price is not
negotiable, underline it so the other members will know not to lower your
price.
·
If you have a two piece
outfit, safety pin it together and write “set” on the label. Do not tape these
items together as they may get separated.
* If your tags don’t
conform to these standards you may be charged an additional 5% of your sales.

New Sellers - If you are a new seller, we hope you will be able
to come to the April meeting so we can give you a "new seller's
packet" and a garage sale number. If you aren't able to attend this
meeting, contact Laura Nagel and she can assign you a number to mark your items
with.
