Selling Requirements and Equipment

• My Consignment Manager (MyCM)
  • All items to be sold must be entered into MyCM. If you have any questions about this, please contact one of the sale chairs (information listed above).
  • MyCM has a 2000 item limit (this cannot be changed).
  • Once registration is received, you will be emailed further information, including about using MyCM. Returning sellers can use previous MyCM login and password.
• Equipment you will need to sell
  • Computer
  • Printer
  • White card stock #60, #65 or #67
  • Tagging gun and barbs (both can be purchased at any office supply store or on Amazon)
• Tagging
  • Do not change the printing of 8 tags per sheet.
  • As a quality control measure, we will be inspecting tags to ensure they will scan at check out. Any tags that were improperly printed or not on card stock will be removed from the sale floor.
  • Members are solely responsible for setting prices for their items. Keep in mind that shoppers are looking for bargains so price accordingly.
  • Please tag all items in .25 cent increments.
  • MyCM will allow you to “tag” single items (e.g. strollers) or multiple items (e.g. shirts) all at once.
    • For example, if you have 20 Size 3T shirts, you only need to enter the item once, click quantity-20, and you have “tagged” all 20 shirts.
  • Once you have entered your items, print your tags directly from the system.
  • Please attach all tags to clothing and shoes with barbs and a tagging gun, safety pin, or string.
  • Large item tags can be taped to the item but please don’t tape over the barcode as this makes it impossible to scan.
• Untagged items: If circumstances permit, an attempt will be made to find out to whom the item belongs and how much to charge the buyer. If the Seller cannot be located, the item will be set aside and NOT sold.
