Question 7

Parking

Boutique sellers may park in the back parking lot of the Kent Commons right up against the building. This parking states Parking by Permit only, but during the sale it is permitted.

Question 8

Tagging

Accepted Answer

After you have signed up to consign, it's time to start tagging! Use our barcoded tagging system and print on white or ivory cardstock only. Regular paper can become easily detached from your item, and colored paper is harder for our bar scanners to read. When tagging clothing, attach to the tag or seam on the item itself- DO NOT affix your tag to the hanger or other packaging. A retail tag gun is worth the small investment if you have a lot items. A vertical safety pin is acceptable as well. Do not use straight pins, ouch! Make sure all items that go together are attached to one another. When tagging large or irregular objects, use common sense, just make sure the tag is clearly visible and that it will not damage the item when removed.

Question 9

Pricing

Accepted Answer

You are absolutely in control of the price of each piece. We want you to be happy with the price your item sells for, of course we also want your items to sell well. Use common sense and consider the brand and condition. Try to think what you would pay for the item in excellent used condition. It will be purchased quickly if it's a bargain. When possible, include original packaging. Also, multiple piece outfits tend to sell better than individual pieces. If you are not sure what to price an item, refer to the pricing guide. Please stay in 50 cent increments; $6.50 or $7.00- not $6.49 or $6.99.
