First, be sure to affix the barcode label to the string tag; do not stick it directly onto the item or the bag. Then attach the string tag to the item and place inside the bag. Make sure the tag is visible. Hint: Add a piece of masking tape on the item with your consignor code and price.

What if my item is not worth your minimum price guideline of $4.00?

If it meets our "excellence quality" standards, then group it together with one or two more like items. Pin them together on a hanger, or group them in a cellophane bag and put one price for the entire group.
