Wow! I can't believe that the Gaithersburg sale is just a few weeks away! My summer just FLEW by and I didn't get to everything I had intended to so now I have to step up my game.
I have managed to clean out excess toys and videos from the living room but I haven't even begun in the basement! Yikes. Well, I guess it's good that this is a long weekend and the pool is still open so hubby can take the kids off to the pool for the day :-)
So, as I get into full swing, I thought I would share some "tips" with you to make this process as easy as possible.
1) Get a friend to consign too! Sitting around and chatting with someone while you are tagging makes the time go by quickly.
2) Volunteer! You get more of a return AND you get to shop early (seriously, this is the biggest benefit). Oh, and if your friend has consigned too, you have a buddy to shop with.
3) Sort before you enter! Other than the description, everything that will appear on your tags is in drop down menus so it is easier if you don't have to keep changing your choice (for example, enter all you 18-24 months clothes at the same time)
4) Be realistic when you price things and use the suggested pricing guide on the TotSwap site -- it is really helpful and generally spot on. If you wouldn't buy it for $4, then don't price it at $4 because someone else won't buy it for that either!
5) Package things to sell, include all the parts (must have working batteries), and make sure it is clean!
Well, I must run but more to come... Good luck all!
