Tagging Instructions


Tagging Information:

• Upon registration you will be assigned a consignor number. (If you have a consignor number from a sale other than Silver Lining, you may be able to use that number if it hasn’t already been taken.) This number will need to be attached to every item you bring. Items not tagged properly will not be allowed in the sale.
• ALL previous consignment tags will be accepted if that consignor # is available.
• No corrections will be allowed on the tags. Items with corrections on the tags will not be sold. (This is for your protection).
• When pricing, a good rule of thumb is 1/4 – 1/3 of the retail price. Just remember these 4 letters: W.W.I.P. (What Would I Pay?)
• Please price in whole dollar increments. No items under $1.00.
• Be sure to place a red dot(•) to the right of the price if you do not want your item sold at half price during the half price sale. If there is a red dot next to the price it will be sold at the full asking price, even at the half price sale.


Tagging Clothing:

• All clothes should be wrinkle free and on hangers. On garments, attach tag with a safety pin near the upper right side of the garment. All garments should be hung with the hook facing left like a question mark. See diagram at the bottom of page. Children’s hangers work best and can be purchased inexpensively at Wal-Mart or discount stores.
• If you have a 2 piece set, please pin the pants on the outside of the shirt in the back and attach to hanger if possible. Both pieces need to be viewable without unpinning them.

Tagging other items (toys, books, equipment, and small items)

• Must be clean and in working order (batteries included). We cannot accept items if they are not in working order. Please do not be offended if we ask you to take some of your items back.
• Attach tag securely to the item using tape or safety pin.
• Place any loose parts in a ziploc bag and attach to the main item with heavy packing tape.
• Tape the bag's zipper to keep small hands out. If parts get separated it will not sell.
• Books, videos & small items can be placed in ziploc bags with the tag inside the bag. For books, you may use masking tape to securely attach the tag to the outside.
• Please be neat when tagging items. We will not accept any tags that have been crossed out or scribbled on. So if you mess up, please make a new tag.
Tagging Shoes Instructions
• Connect the shoes with ribbon or plastic ties which can also be purchased at Wal-Mart in the automotive dept.
• Another option, put shoes in a Ziploc bag. Use packing tape and tape across the zipper of the bag so the pair stays together. Tape the consignment tag to the outside of the bag.

We, Staci Wyatt and Felisha Rhodes, would like to thank you for your part in helping us make our second Silver Lining sale a great success!!!!
