items.
** All items not picked up between 11am-1pm
on Saturday, Nov 11 will be donated. NO EXCEPTIONS
***25 item minimum to consign/participate in the sale.
- PRICING: You price your
item. General guideline is 1/4 to 1/3 of original sales price. Name brands
and excellent condition items sell for more. Ask yourself, "Would I
buy this for $xx?" Start early, it takes time to write out price
cards and sort clothing.
- SHOES: please limit to
your best 50 pair. HANG YOUR SHOES. TIE TOGETHER with laces or
strong braided string. Pin or tie your tags on to the shoes with yarn.
These display better on our racks than those in bags. They need to
be priced lower than your clothing.
- Baby ITEMS: only baby
items in excellent condition will sell unless they are priced very cheap
- FEES
for consigning your items are $10 Consigner fee plus 20% of sales. Whether
you have a little or alot of items, you keep 80% of the sales price! Fees
are deducted from proceeds. Do not meet all fees, you are expected to make
the $10 consigner payment.
- CHECKS

following the sale. You may pick up checks at the First Community Bank,
114 E Jackson St, Clinton, KY 42031 from 1-3pm, see Deena Pittman.
Any check not picked up in person will be automatically mailed.
- CONSIGNOR
NUMBERS: New consignors will use their first letter of their last name
plus the last 4 digits of their phone number as their consignor/seller
number. For example, Deena Pittman is P-0582. If you consign at other
sales and already have your items tagged and have a specific consigner
number, please use that existing consigner number and the tags that are
already on your items.
You
will need white or pastel cardstock to print tags on. No bright cardstock.

at 270-653-4301.
YARN COLORS: For
identification purposes and ease of sorting after the sale, attach a colored
yarn, tape, or ribbon to the tops of hangers. Bagged items and toys do not need
this color identification. Colors correspond to the first letter of your last
name. Use a unique shade or type if you prefer.

Check out this page for the five most over priced consignment
items: http://consignmentmommies.com/_blog/Consignment_Sale_Advice/post/five-things-and-five-brands-you-are-overpricing/
1. Your gently worn to excellent condition clothing must be on a
hanger. Hanger hook should face LEFT (looks like ?, a question mark ). Place
price tag on right shoulder. Some play clothes may be placed in ziploc bag.
Hanging items sell better. Items that are clean, smell fresh, and ironed look
& sell better. We accept many sizes, but don't accept clothing dated older
than 5 years. A 12 years old's toddler clothing is dated.
2. IMPORTANT! Sets should be pinned together securely by hanging
the shirt first then attaching the pants to the hanger by the waist. The neater
this looks, the better the set will sell. Be sure to catch the hanger as you
close the pin so the pants do not weigh down the shirt. Try not to hide the
pants under the shirt. Pin pants @ top of hanger -- catch the fabric twice or
they slide along the bottom & do not sell.
3. We do accept baby clothes, kids clothes, teen clothes, women
clothes, & men clothes. Purses and bags sell well.
4. Price in whole dollar increments (no .50 cents or .99 cents) at
full price. Items not priced in whole dollars will be rounded down to the
nearest dollar. Put small items together to equal $1.00 worth. It helps
customers keep track and easier checkout.
5. Small items should be bagged together in a Ziploc with the
price card attached to the front with packaging tape or pinned to the outside.
You can bag small toys, games, etc. together for one price which will sell
better than little individual ones. Taping the bag shut protects from theft and
children opening during sale.
6. Limit 50 pair of shoes per consignor due to space constraints
so pick your best ones. They also do not sell well and need to be priced lower
than clothing guidelines. You can attach together either with laces tied,
straps hooked together, or tied together with strong string. The price tags can
be attached with pin. If you like, you can also bag shoes in Ziploc and attach
price tag to outside of bag with packing tape, pin to bag, or place in your
bag.
7. We accepts all kids' items: Strollers, cribs, beds, toy boxes,
high chairs, walkers, toys, books, video games, videos, CD/DVD, shoes, and
sporting equipment. Make sure all baby items are not broken or missing pieces.
If so, Please note on the card. Toys need to include all pieces and be in
excellent condition. You can saran wrap small items to the larger item too.
8. NO stuffed animals, they will not sell & will be refused at
check-in.
9. Toys that need batteries need to include them for demo
purposes. They also sell better this way.
10. Equipment, furniture, and toys should be clean, have all
parts, and any small pieces should be in a Ziploc bag attached to the main part
securely with tape, ribbon, or yarn. DO NOT use masking or scotch tape... it
will not stay attached. Use clear packing tape or saran wrap.
11. It is your responsibility to check all items for recalls.
12. Any Chamber Volunteer has the right to refuse any items and
price untagged items at checkout. Items without tags will not sell.
13. Any claims for missing items need to be made before leaving
the building at pick-up. A claims form for missing items will need to be
submitted before leaving. All items not picked up by 1pm Saturday, August 5
will be donated that evening, No Exceptions.
