The volunteer shift buy out option is a shift credit toward the earlier presale and does not count toward the higher sales percentage.

Roswell location special! - Roswell consignors who are able to volunteer for a 4 1/2 hr. shift earn 75%, 2 full shifts earn 80%, on the first $500 in gross sales with 70% on the remainder. Men's and sign holder shifts that are given 2 shift credits toward the earlier presale, only count as 1 shift toward the higher sales percentage.

We are asking ALL consignors to view the above videos prior to finalizing their items to sell. 

It is very important for all consignors to enter a full description for each item (ex. Gymboree Pink and white striped Shirt").  Clothing items simply described as "shirt" or "jeans" will be removed from the sales floor as this could allow a shopper to easily switch tags with other items.

Consignors will earn 70% of their sales less a $10 seller fee.  Consignors who volunteer for 4 full shifts at one event will earn an extra 10% on the first $500 of their sales with 70% on the remainder. 

Due to the sweeping government overhaul of crib standards this year, All 4 Kids can only accept cribs manufactured on or after June 28, 2011.  Cribs that were manufactured from July 23, 2010 to June 28, 2011 (the date must be on the crib), MAY be accepted for resale at our events if they are unaccompanied by the Crib Safety Form  and a Certificate of Compliance from the crib manufacturer.  All 4 Kids can not accept any cribs manufactured prior to July 23, 2010 (even if they are being sold as toddler beds).

Sellers must have all items entered and moved into their current registered sale by 5am the day before drop off.

All sellers will have their earnings directly sent to their accounts on the Sunday following the sale closing.  It takes between 1-4 days for your deposit to credit to your bank. There are several local area banks that offer free savings/checking accounts for those sellers that do not wish to use their primary accounts to receive the sale proceeds. All sellers who did not use direct deposit last season, and all new sellers, must show a check (for checking) or deposit slip (for savings acct) at seller drop off to verify account numbers.

While many sellers are able to account for every item during seller pickup, it is common, given the nature of consignment sales to have a few missing items listed on your pickup report. Common reasons range from sellers entering items twice into inventory, item mis-sorted into another seller's number, sellers leaving items at home, sellers not removing past inventory from their current inventory list, customers switching tags and theft. All 4 Kids pledges to protect your items to the best of our ability and treat them as our own.  While we do have numerous security measures to protect your items for sale, we are not responsible for lost, damaged or stolen items.  If you are missing more than a few items, or any high priced item, please bring it to our attention at seller pickup. Most of the time we are able to help you locate your missing items.

Checks: While we no longer accept checks from the public, we will accept checks on presale night from our sellers. As a courtesy, we will not deposit the seller checks written to us on presale night until a week or two later. This will allow time for your sale proceeds to be posted to your account before your check clears.

As an added security measure against a customer switching tags, we suggest placing a piece of packing tape over the safety pin and the printed "All 4 Kids" on your tags.  This is not required...but it an extra deterrent.

All Sellers must use our Online Inventory Program to enter, print and tag their items with a full description for each item. (See "Enter Items to Sell" on the left after logging into site.) You can track your sales every evening during the sale. Sellers can add items to their "Holding Inventory" all year long and move their items over to a sale once registered.

Once you are a confirmed seller with a assigned drop off time, then all items that you are wanting to sell in the July/August sales MUST BE MOVED from your holding inventory account (if you used this feature) to your current inventory prior to 5am the day before drop-off. The holding account should then only have items that you are "holding" until the Spring 2013 sale.

Be sure that your inventory list for your registered sale and the items you are dropping off are exactly the same. (In other words, you can’t drop off items to sell that are still in your “holding account”.   You should also move any item that you are not dropping off at the upcoming sale into your “holding inventory” by 5am the day before drop off.)

If you do not have a specific drop off time, you ARE NOT a registered seller...... even if your items are inventoried, printed and ready to go.

*It is extremely important that you remember to print a new tag if you have changed the price, half off instructions, donation designation or description on any of your items. If the printed tags do not match exactly with your final inventory online, then your item can not be sold!

It is very important for all sellers to read the information found on the "Product Safety/Recall" link on our website. Sellers should also check the list of recalled items under the "Product Safety" link on our home page. We can not accept any recalled or unsafe items for sale.

Please thoroughly check all toys, equipment and electronics before bringing them into the sale and test that they are working properly with all pieces attached. All electronic or battery toys or cars must have functioning batteries and charger.  Check your local dollar store for inexpensive batteries.

Two drop off days at the Fairgrounds and Mt Paran to reduce crowding.

It is important that you be highly selective in deciding which items to consign at our sales.  Bring only Fall/Winter quality, fresh, clean, in style, pressed clothes and shoes.   Absolutely no stains, no holes, no defects or clothes that smell of smoke, musty or moth balls.  Bring only your very best...and keep the rest!   

Log into the site and click the "Enter Items to Sell/Print Tags" link under the Seller Menu.  If you are a registered seller with a confirmed drop off time, you will be able to select the sale and enter your inventory for that sale.  If you are NOT a registered seller, you can use the "holding inventory" to store and print your tags prior to registration.  (See below "What is Holding Inventory")

All items must be entered into the current sales inventory by 5am THE DAY BEFORE sale drop off in order to be accepted for sale. (If you used the "holding inventory", you must transfer the items you are dropping off into the current sales inventory prior to this time as well.)

Every seller must copy or print their tags onto cardstock paper. You can either print your tags directly onto cardstock from your printer, or print the tags onto regular paper and have them copied onto cardstock paper at your local office supply store.  You can use any white, or light colored, solid cardstock.

Please make sure that your seller ID# is printed in the upper left hand corner of each tag and that each tag has a barcode. If you are experiencing either of these issues, please send us an email as soon as possible so we are able to correct your tags prior to drop-off. These items ensure that you will be paid for your items and is very important. :

All clothes must be on hangers facing left with pants, shorts and skirts safety pinned to the top of the hanger for easy viewing (see diagram below).

We ask for wire hangers for size 5 and up.  (Clothes present better so your sales are higher.  It is also easier to safety pin clothes to a wire hanger to pass the tug test, they take less room on the racks and most importantly clothes typically do not fall off of the wire hanger and end up on the floor.  Remember, your clothes are being viewed by thousands of customers! ) Please do not use any premee or clip pant/skirt hangers. 

Safety Pin (No straight pins or staples) the tags to the garments upper right side and to the tag's upper right corner.  See the attached  diagram below.  Obtain safety pins at Walmart, your local dollar store or dry cleaners. Ask to buy some, most will give them away.  Please do not use tagging guns as they tend to leave large holes in the garments.

Small Items other than clothing -    Please affix the tag to the item by placing clear packing tape over the complete tag. If the item could be damaged by the tape you can either place the item in a ziploc bag or wrap plastic wrap around the item and secure the tag to the plastic.  Large taped ziploc baggies with the tag taped to the front of the bag works well for many small items.  Shoes can be secured together using shoelaces or clear zip ties.  Safety pin the tag through the laces or the zip tie.  If there are no laces, then intertwine the straps to hold the shoes together and place the safety pin around the strap.  Please DO NOT put shoes into bags. (Socks, Bibs, Towels, infant t-shirts, linens etc. will be placed in bins for display). 

Large Items - (Baby Equipment, gates, bed safety rails, furniture, large play toys, ride on toys etc.), please bring 2 identical tags to drop off (Do not enter the items twice in your inventory...but print 2 copies of the large item tags).   Please do not tape any of tags to your large items.  At drop off, you will staple the 2 identical tags to our form.  Don't worry, we will walk you through it at drop off!  :)

Check in will take around an hour, so please plan accordingly.  You will receive your seller pass after checking in your items.

All sellers are required to fully assemble all cribs and large play equipment at drop off. In our experience these items sell quickly if fully assembled.

Please do not sell any of your items in the parking lot to other sellers or volunteers. Thanks!

New sellers must bring a check to verify the account and routing number.  (deposit slips typically have the incorrect routing number)

Strollers, high chairs and playpens etc. must be thoroughly cleaned and in excellent condition with all straps to be accepted.

Sort -  Clothing must be sorted by size and gender prior to drop-off to speed racking of the clothes.

STEP 5 - PRESALE INFORMATION

If you have more than 30 hanging clothing items that were accepted for sale, you will be given one admittance ticket for one person to enter the seller preview.  All volunteers will shop prior to the seller preview sale.

Only children 10 years and older will be allowed at the preview, and they must stay with their parents at all times.   (No children under 10....This includes No Infants in front/back carriers) We apologize, however there are no exceptions! While we know this is a major inconvenience to those with young children and/or nursing mothers, please understand that it only takes one crying baby or toddler to change the lively atmosphere into great tension.

We ask that no one line up their baskets and then leave the waiting area. In fairness to everyone we ask that no baskets be left to hold your space (other than quick "bathroom breaks"), and that you do not hold a place for a friend or relative in line.

Most shoppers bring a laundry basket or box with a rope attached to "drag" their bargains behind them.  No wagons, strollers, rolling racks, etc. will be allowed at the seller presale due to lack of space.

Our sale has always been known for it's polite shoppers. To continue this tradition we ask that you go through each clothing item one at a time on the rack. Please do not take an item off the rack unless you intend to purchase it. If you have selected items that you no longer want to purchase, we ask (beg and plead) that you please re-rack your clothes into the proper size and gender. Please do not leave the unwanted clothing in a stack somewhere, or worse yet, put them on the racks in the wrong sizes. We can understand not wanting an item due to stains, tears, defects etc., but your "reject" stack should be very small compared to your "keep" stack. If you do find an item with a stain, tear, or out of season that made it thru check-in, please give the item to a volunteer.

If you want to purchase a large item, please fill out your customer info on the middle of the tag and tear off the lower portion at the perforation to give to the cashier. PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THE WHOLE TAG or the item can not be sold. In fairness, all items must be purchased by the seller after completing and removing the lower portion of each tag as this keeps other customers from purchasing the item. Anyone who attempts to scratch out his or her name (or another person's name) may be asked to leave.

If anyone sees someone not following our simple shopping guidelines, please notify a volunteer so we can discuss the problem with them. We really want this to be a fun, bargain collecting, shopping experience for everyone!!
