The Big Red Wagon Kids' and Maternity Consignment Sale

Tagging Your Items

Register as a Seller. Follow the “How to Enter Your Items and Print Tag Instructions” for step by step directions.
You may enter your items all at once or over a period of different days. Please check the sale info page for the item entry deadline.
Use one tag per item. Do not print one tag and then make copies on a copier for your additional items. Enter each item and the software will create a unique tag for every item you are selling. This will allow you to track all of your sold items, unsold items, what sold at half price, & total sales.
You may print tags anytime up to the sale.
Your tags will look similar to the tag at the right. The black dot means Donate and “Reduce” above the price indicates that the item will be part of the half price sale.
If you would like to sell your items during the half price sale or donate your unsold items, you must check the appropriate boxes in the software. We cannot accept any tags with hand written information on them. The scanners will not recognize hand written information.

Printing Tags

Use 60-67# white or pastel cardstock paper. Please DO NOT use dark colored, multicolored, or patterned paper.

Clothing – Using Safety Pins

Safety pin the tag on the upper right side of each item. Do not use straight pins.

DO NOT place the barb into the clothing as shown in this picture. It will damage the clothing.

Clothing – Using a Tagging Gun

If you would like to use a tagging gun, that is fine too. Be sure to watch the "How To" Video before you begin tagging.

Please be sure to insert the tagging needle into the tag on the in the top of the shirt or pants (shown here).
If there is no tag, insert the needle under the right arm of the shirt or the right seam of the pants. The key is placing it on the top right of the item. You’ll have to use your best judgment as you do not want to put a hole in the item. It’s good to keep some safety pins on hand if you plan on using the tagging gun!
ONLY place the tag through a seam or into a tag in the collar or waistband. DO NOT insert the tagging gun needle through the material of the item. IT WILL put a hole in the item!

Getting Started Videos: The Big Red Wagon getting started videos

Some things to note when watching the videos, the clothing is the main video that should be followed exactly as presented. The only thing I want to add on clothing is the following: smaller clothing sells great in sets. Match a onesie with a pair of pants, or a cute shirt with a skirt. You can price a set a little higher and you have gotten rid of 2 times vs. 1. Of course selling single items is always allowed this is just a tip.

Other then that the packaging videos on items can be in the eye of the beholder. Look at these videos as more of a guideline for starting. I always say if you come to shop take a look at some of the unique ways people have packaged items. The thing to remember here is presentation and keeping the items secured so they stay packaged as shoppers are shopping.

Shoppers want to see the item presented in a way that they can see what is inside when watching the videos I would like to mention some things like packaging shoes, the video that you will see here mentions bagging shoes, I personally always like using zip ties to connect shoes and then applying the tag, also things like clothing, Same things with books, sell books in sets, if you do this make sure to use a ziploc bag to ensure they don't get separated. I also highly recommend if you have an item, say a higher priced stroller, and you want to get a good return value, attach a print out of the retail of this item to the item you are selling, then shoppers can see the value of the item, sometimes if a shopper sees a stroller, swing, furniture piece, etc. that is priced on the higher side for selling they may think it is priced too high at re-sell and then they see the print out and realize they are getting a great deal. I also recommend attaching pictures, or print-outs from websites if there is an item you have packaged in say a large bag, like a bedding set, or large toy, etc. that maybe is hard to see in the packaging way, the picture can show the shopper exactly what is inside and also allows shoppers to get a better idea. While on the subject of packaging, you can always get creative and utilize many items at your house for packaging, I have seen empty strawberry clamshells for Hot Wheels, Saran wrap to wrap puzzles, etc., use your imagination, there is no wrong answer. The videos above don't forecast as much of the creativity as I like to use. I have owned this since 2014, the videos are from the 2 ladies that started this so the ideas I have forecasted have not been implemented in those, I am more open to creativity :)

Again please note: the only thing that creativity is not good on is the preparation of clothing, the hanger placement, tag placement and using a tagging gun.

New videos are on the way but these are a great start for you.

Never hesitate to email me with questions, no question is a bad question. sellers@thebigredwagon.com

Items in Ziploc Bags

You can tape your tags to the inside or outside of the bag as long as they are secured. Do not staple the tag to the item.

Books

Attach the price tag to the BACK of the book. We recommend that you place books into a Ziploc bag. Many shoppers have commented they will not purchase books with price tags attached to the front cover because it will damage the book when removed. Do not staple the tag to the item.

Toys with Accessories

Securely tape your tag to the toy in a visible place. If you have a larger item (ex: a kitchen with accessories), place the accessories in a bag and write your seller number and item number on the bag, then securely attach the bag to the kitchen. Do not staple the tag to the item.

Please Note: If an item does not have a tag, it will not be sold. It will be placed in the lost and found area at the sale. If an item is not claimed, it will be donated after the sale.
