Our new barcode system to enter your items is very user friendly. However, if you have questions, please e-mail us by clicking on the Contact Us page. We’ll be happy to answer your questions. Moving to this barcode/tagging system has made our tags easier to read, more uniform for our shoppers, and sped up the check out process. We may have a few growing pains as we go "digital"; however, we'll ultimately have a much smoother sale resulting in more money in your pockets from happier shoppers.

Things to know:

• Bar coded tags are required on all items. Handwritten tags will NOT be accepted.
• ALL items must be entered and all tags must be printed by 3:30 pm the Wednesday (Sept 7th) before the sale. After this deadline, additions and/or changes can no longer be made to your inventory.
• The new system allows you to start and stop entering your items as many times as you like before the entry deadline.
• We’ve found that entering items is faster when like items are grouped together as well as clothing sorted by gender and size.

Printing Tips:

• Use ONLY WHITE Cardstock paper (65lb. or 67lb. cardstock) to print your tags. (available at office supply stores such as Office Depot and Staples) If you would like smaller quantity of paper, card stock is available for purchase by the sheet in the Business Center at Office Depot. Don't use heavier paper that could soak up ink causing the barcode not to scan properly. Six tags will print on one sheet of cardstock. Each tag will be measure approximately 3 inches by 3 inches.
  
• Set ink jet printers to "normal print quality" setting NOT "high print quality”.
• Align your print cartridges - printer cartridges in inkjet printers can get out of alignment, especially when you change cartridges. This can cause the edge of the barcode not to be clean and straight. There should be a utility that came with your printer software that allows you to align the print cartridges.
• Before printing make sure you browser allows for pop-ups.
• Below is an example of good and bad barcodes.
  

Item Preparation:

• Clothes must be on hangers, clean and pressed with no stains, missing buttons, broken zippers, or rips.  Safety pin skirts and pants to top of hangers. NO clothespins or straight pins. 
• Shoes must be in a Ziploc bag (one pair per bag).
• All toys and baby equipment must be clean and in good working order with ALL parts secured with clear packing tape.
• Small items, i.e. diaper covers, small toys, bottles, rattles, etc. may be grouped in a Ziploc bag.
• Tape bags closed with clear packing tape.
