Consignor Newsletter
EDISON
Edition 3 Volume 2
Week of February 19th 2012

How to Read our TAGS! – Tags print 10 per page. Tags will only print the word “DONATE” if you items are marked for donation (blank indicates you will be picking that item up on Sunday). If you mark an item as NO DISCOUNT for half price day, you will see the words No Discount over the price. Items not displaying those words will be discounted during the Saturday half price sale.
Crib policy – Due to many recent recalls of drop side cribs we will NO LONGER BE ACCEPTING ANY CRIB MANUFACTURED BEFORE JUNE 28, 2011 at either of our events.
Pick up – We are no longer sorting consignor items into boxes for pick up. Instead, we leave items on the tables and racks and provide sellers with a list of unsold items. Consignors will be able to take their items directly off the racks and tables. We will keep 1-2 registers open for check out to accommodate the additional sales. We recommend you mark your items for easier identification at pick up. Suggestions include marking the necks of your hangers or using stickers, hole punches or other marks to tags.
