Important:  We reserve the right to decline any items that are improperly tagged, torn, stained, seasonally inappropriate, or questionable.  These items will be donated to charity at the end of the sale.  Please bring us only your best items.

Supplies needed:

General Tagging Tips:

  • Make copies (on WHITE paper) of NEW consignor tag sheets and NEW log sheets printed from MOYC site.  Old tags from previous sales will not be accepted for the Fall 2007 sale.
  • Number items on both log sheet and tag.  This number goes after your consignor code on the tags (ex: 999-MYC-17....the 17 is the item number)
  • Price all items in increments of 50 cents (.50, $1.00, $1.50, $2.00, etc)
  • Fill in clothing size.  Please use number sizes only and not S,M,L (except for maternity clothes).
  • Fill in description line on tag.  (ex: pink floral dress, Lego set, monkey book, blue striped shirt and tan pants, etc.)
  • For multiple-piece items, make note on tag (2 pc., hat included, etc.)
  • Remember ALL items will go half-price and ALL unsold items will be donated to charity at the end of the day Saturday.  Consignors are no longer allowed to pick up unsold items.  Price to sell and bless others!

Tagging Clothing:

  • Choose infant to teen clothing for current season only (fall/winter items for September sale and spring/summer items for March sale)
  • Maternity clothing and all juniors clothing must be current styles only!  Obviously outdated styles will not sell!
  • Hang all clothes on hangers with the hook of the hanger facing LEFT.  The hanger should look like a ?question mark? when facing you. Click here for examples.
  • Button all buttons, snap all snaps, and zip all zippers.
  • Use safety pins to attach pants, shorts, or skirts to the top of hanger.  Make sure it is secure.  Click here for examples.
  • For multiple-piece outfits, pin pants, shorts, or skirt to back of shoulders of the shirt.  Be sure pins go around hanger so item is secure.
