When are my Deadlines?

What can I sell?

Ok I’m in! Where do I Start?

Hooray! Your participation in our sale has a wide ripple effect that touches so many! Whether you are new to our sale or a returning consignor, we are so pleased you chose our sale. Together, we can support missions and ministries that serve at-risk women and children in our community AND abroad!

It may seem overwhelming at first, so we’ve broken down the process into 8 easy-to-follow steps. And don’t forget: should you need us, you can reach us at info@consigngermantown.com! We’re here to help!

1. Register as a consignor for our sale. (If you are a RETURNING consignor, skip to STEP 2.)

• Go to GUWF Children’s Consignment Sale
• Click on “Join” and fill out the information form/ agree to Terms of Service
• Click “Create Account” at the bottom of page
• Check your email for your assigned “Consignor ID” number

2. Log in with your ID number and password that you created.

3. Reserve a Drop-Off time FIRST! You won’t be allowed to “Add Items” until you do so.

• Click on Drop Off/ Pick Up and choose your preferred time slot.
• Time slots are in 15-minute intervals and have limited spots. Certain slots can go fast, so be sure to snag your preferred time early!

4. Add Items

• REMEMBER: the last day to enter items into the system is Tuesday, April 1^st @ 11:59 pm.
• You can only add 10 items at a time, and it is IMPERATIVE that you click “Add Items” after EVERY set of 10 items added so that they save in your account.
• By clicking “Dis” you are indicating that you want that item to be SOLD AT HALF PRICE if that item hasn’t sold BEFORE our half-price sale on Friday evening/ Saturday morning.
• By clicking “D” you are indicating that you want to DONATE that item at the end of our sale IF IT DOESN’T SELL.
• By clicking “A” you are making that item available to sell at our 2025 Spring/Summer sale.
• By clicking “PC” you will signal the system to print a card for that item (more on printing in step 5!!)

• If you are a RETURNING consignor and have items from previous sales you would like to reactivate, simply click on “LIST ITEMS” and SEARCH “All Items” in the drop-down bar. If you would like to reactivate something, click the “A” next to that item.

5. Print your Tags

• Tags MUST be printed on solid white cardstock, and the barcodes MUST be crisp and clean (so check the ink in your printer!) If the barcodes are printing fuzzy, the scanners won’t be able to scan your item, and there is a chance we will not be able to sell it. If you are unsure, send the PDF to Office Depot or another printing center and have them print on card stock for you!
• Click on “Print Cards” under Consignor
• Every Item that has “PC” checked next to it will be considered an “Unprinted Card”
• Click on “Preview Only Unprinted” Cards”

• Once you reach the “Preview Screen”, you MUST click on PRINT at the top to generate a PDF. If you click “Print” from the Toolbar (or from Right click), the tags won’t be formatted properly.

• Once your tags are printed, make sure you cut them out carefully so that no important information (barcode/ID/ etc.) is chopped off.

6. Attach your tags. Before you begin, gather your supplies! You’ll need: clear packing tape, SAFETY PINS, hangers, Ziploc bags, zip-ties, and ribbon/string.

1. 1. Clothing:

• Ensure that the clothing item is stain-free and wrinkle-free.
• All tags MUST be attached to clothing items with SAEFTY PINS. NO EXCEPTIONS!
• Hang the items so the hanger’s hook forms the shape of a question mark as you look at the front of the garment. Like this:

• USING SAFETY PINS, attach the tag to each garment’s upper right-hand corner. Like this:

1. Books:

• Attach tags anywhere on the outside of the book using clear packaging tape.
• You can bundle books by tying them together using string/ ribbon (make sure they are secured!) OR by putting them together in a clear Ziploc bag (in this case, you can tape the tag to the Ziploc bag).

1. Shoes:

• Ensure that the shoes are clean.
• If the shoes fit inside a ziploc bag, place the shoes inside the bag and tape the tag to the Ziploc bag.
• If the shoes do NOT fit inside a Ziploc bag, tie the shoes together with ribbon or zipties. You can then pin your tag to the shoes using safety pins.

1. Everything else:

• Do your best to attach the tag as securely as possible, while at the same time keeping it as visible as possible.

7. Drop off your Items

• Keep to your chosen drop -off time slot so that there will be no delay in assisting you.
• Bring ALL of your items into the gym foyer before checking in. It may take you several trips, and that’s ok! We will have a few wagons that you are welcome to borrow, but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to bring your own in case ours are already being used.
• Our volunteers will go through your items to ensure they meet our criteria. Please know we do this to ensure a high-quality sale.
• Once check in is complete, we will make sure you have your early shopping pass, and our volunteers will put your entire inventory away for you!
• Don’t forget to come back and shop early on Thursday night at 6:30- consignor perks! Bring a shopping bag and bring a friend!

8. Pick up any items that didn’t sell/ were donated.

• The gym at the OLEC (where the sale is held) will be open from 6:30 pm until 8:30 pm. Saturday night for you to retrieve your unsold items.
• If you have items that did not sell and you did not choose to donate them, they will be grouped together in the gym for you to pick up.
• If you are not able to pick up your items, you can send someone else to do it for you. Just make sure they know your consignor ID!!
• ALL unsold items that you have not already donated MUST be picked up on Saturday by 8:30 pm.
• Unfortunately, WE ARE UNABLE TO HOLD ANY UNCLAIMED ITEMS PAST 8:30 PM ON SATURDAY. All items not picked up will be donated promptly at 8:31 pm to the charities that we support.

That’s it! You did it! We hope you enjoy our sale and the fellowship that goes along with it. Hopefully, you make a few bucks, snag some great bargains, and become a regular at our sale for years to come. Because without YOU, GUWF wouldn’t be able to support so many missions and ministries! THANK YOU!
