Anyway, with a little over 8 weeks to get ready for the big sale, we are amazed that nearly 200 of you have already signed up to consign with us! And we've already dusted off the barcode printer and are filling orders.
So, since we have plenty of time to get our things ready at this point, I thought I'd take the opportunity to send along some tips from some of our top sellers over the years:
- Price reasonably. People know brands and what they cost new or on clearance. $4 for a shirt from Wal-Mart or even Old Navy will not sell because they can get it new from the stores at that price (or even cheaper).
- Boys clothes (sizes 3T and up ) are IN DEMAND, so don't feel like you have to under price them to sell them.
- Shoes are hot sellers, too. If they are in good shape and polished up a bit, they'll sell.
- Make your tags look neat and easy to read. Use good descriptions.
- Pin shirts to the hangers so they're always right where they belong.
- Group just-for-play clothes together for a better deal.
- Hang everything. Except socks and onesies.
- Package toys in groups and sell like items together -- create a boy grab bag or a girl grab bag.
- Group books together based on topic, gender or age. Sound, pop-up or lift-the-flap books can be priced individually.
- Tape everything closed, ziploc bags, games in boxes...tape it all! Saran wrap puzzles.
- The more care and attention you pay to preparing your things, the more money you'll make.
- Don't give up on those stains! Bleach pens can make white items good as new. Be sure to share any of your own stain removal tips with us...email info@littletreasuressale.com.
- Have your own successful selling tips to share? We want to hear those, too. Shoot us an email.
Stay tuned! It's my goal to blog more this season...happy tagging!
