It's been another awesome year! As we say good bye to 2011, and hello to 2012, we're going to be making some adjustments to better serve you.
Beginning with our Winter 2011 sale, children will no longer be
allowed at the Tuesday Night Pre-Sale unless they are under 12 months and small enough to be
worn in a sling or carrier. It's strictly a girls night out!
As you may know, we have run out of space in our facility. In an effort for things to not become quite so hectic in the hall, and for the safety of everyone involved, all consignors and new moms will now wait outside of the entrance doors prior to the Tuesday night pre-sale. Please dress accordingly. Volunteers will be allowed inside to wait in the hall as usual.
We are still limiting our capacity. We will limit consignors to the first 350 who sign up. Instead of a waiting list, this year we will be instituting a secondary sign up the Monday before drop off. This secondary sign up will be limited to the number of consignor cancellations we have had.
When you sign up, you will be sent an email to confirm that you do intend to participate. You will have 10 minutes to click the link and then your spot may be given up for someone else who wants it. Because there are more consignors than consigning spots available, if you change your mind about participating, you must follow the link that you confirmed with and remove yourself from the consigning list no later than 8 days prior to drop off. This will allow another consignor time to get registered and tagged for the sale. Consignors who sign up, but do not show up, or do not give an 8 day notice prior to the sale will no longer be eligible to consign with us.
The Tuesday before the sale you will receive your unique consignor confirmation number. You will need this number to drop off. Please make sure that you print out or write down your unique consignor confirmation number so that you can enter the sale.
We will not be accepting any consignors who do not have a unique consignor confirmation number.
We will not be accepting any items hanging on plastic hangers. We do NOT accept any plastic hangers and items will be turned away at check in if they are not on wire hangers. I'm not trying to be difficult, my volunteers are just tired of picking merchandise up off the floor from broken hangers.
In an effort to get you through the check out quicker, our tagging format is now exclusively VERTICAL 3x5 index cards. We will not be accepting any horizontal tags or tags that are larger or smaller than a 3x5 index card.
Over-zealous tape use, and incorrect pinning are hampering our efficiency during check out so please review the tagging pages to find out the correct way to tag for this sale. Tape and safety pins should be placed on the very top of the tag, so that the tag (and all of it's pertinent information) may be removed with one clip of the scissors. View our video on taping. View our video on tags.
On our Tuesday Night Presale, we will be offering a 15 item or less check out. Please look for signs to guide you through the correct door so that we can expidite your check out.
We have now phased out VHS Tapes. VHS formatted media and media players are phasing out of the market place and they just don't sell.
We will continue to be vigilant with items on the recall list. Please be sure to check the Safety First page of our website to find recall links. We will continue to update our recall notebooks at the sale, however, it isn't worth borrowing somebody's truck to bring an item that we will reject if it's found on the recall list.
In an effort to protect you, we began requiring thumbprint ID's on all checks in 2009. Due to the overwhelmingly positive response, we will continue to require thumbprints on all checks. Should someone use your checks without your permission at our sale, you will have the necessary identifying information that will assist local law enforcement.
