We LOVE educational books and homeschooling supplies! They have a high sell through rate!
We highly recommend you use string to bundle your books and tie them, wrapping the string both ways and tight enough that the books don’t fall out but loose enough to not damage the books.
We highly recommend using painters tape to secure the tag to the book and we also recommend you put it on the back of the book when appropriate.
Frequently asked questions
I brought a car seat to sell. Why did it get rejected?
Did you know that car seats have an expiration date!? 6 years is the limit of use on any car seat from date of manufacture.
Why do I need to print my tags on cardstock?
All of the items that come in and out of our sale get moved around a lot! They get out of your car, put onto the rolling racks, hung onto the racks/tables on the floor, and then added to a shoppers wagon, all before it gets to the check out table! If you use regular copy paper, you risk the tag falling off your item. No tag = no sale = lost and found table. You want to keep your tagged items off the lost and found table.
Also, if you use anything other than white, scanners have a hard time reading the barcode at the register. It is impossible to read barcodes that are printed on any paper that have a shine or glitter.
What if I don't want back my items that don't sell?
If you don’t want the items back, we will gladly donate them to one of our non-profits! Please chose “donate” when you are tagging your items and confirm you are “donating all” on drop off day!
I don't have PayPal, can I still register?
Yes, you can just register with a credit card as a guest through PayPal.
