I. Print your tags: DO NOT BOLD your barcodes. The Kids Exchange scanners do not easily read barcodes printed in BOLD. Thank You. 1.) go to www.KidsExchange.net 2.) Click on ”Sell“ 3.) Click on ”print tags“ 4.) Click on your Name (You will be assigned a new 'Sorting #' for the upcoming sale. For more Information on 'Sorting Numbers', click here.) 5.) Print tags on both White AND Colored Card Stock - (any TRUE color) ~ Mandatory & very important! * Kids Exchange tags must be used. Tags must have barcodes; written numbers are not accepted. (If you are selling previously tagged items from a past sale, you will need to click on "Print Sorting Stickers". Print these stickers using Avery labels (part number will be added this week.)
Mandatory: Must use CARDSTOCK paper (Copy paper is too thin and is not allowed.) * Print tags on BOTH white card stock and colored card stock (any color). * Tag your item with COLORED card stock if you wish to have the item returned to you if it does not sell. ITEMS TAGGED WITH A COLORED CARD STOCK CAN NOT BE LEFT FOR CHARITY AND MUST BE PICKED UP BY THE CONSIGNOR. * Tag your item with WHITE card stock if you wish to give the item to charity if it does not sell. ITEMS TAGGED WITH WHITE CARD STOCK WILL NOT BE SORTED BACK INTO YOUR SELLER NUMBER AND WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR PICK UP. * Please DO NOT tag ALL items with Colored Card Stock. The color coded system is in place so that volunteers do not sort items going to charity unnecessarily. Please take the time to tag your items appropriately so that our sorting system is accurate and managable. Thank you.
PLEASE NOTE: * All colors in the ‘white family’ will go to charity. This includes white, off-white, beige, ivory, etc. We would rather you not use any of these ‘off white’. Please use a true white for items going to charity if unsold. * Use a TRUE color, such as pastel or neon (not a neutral color) if you would like to have your unsold item back. * Please DO NOT use a dark color card stock where the writing (price, size, etc) and barcode would be hard to read. Your writing and barcode need to be very clear. * Please DO NOT use grey card stock. Under florescent lights, grey appears to be white. * Please DO NOT use red card stock. Our scanners can not read off of red card stock and you would be unable to ‘mark your price in red’ if you wish not to sell your item for ½ price on Sunday.
II. Tag your items: PLEASE NOTE: Tags printed from the Kids Exchange website will automatically have your 'sale specific' Sorting Number on the bottom right corner. If you are using an old tag without a sorting number on the bottom right corner or if you choose to use a tag will an old sorting number, you must "Print Sorting Stickers" and place the sticker with your sorting number for the upcoming sale on the bottom right hand corner. If this is not done properly, your items will not be sorting into your seller number and will not be available for pick up. It is the Seller's responsibility to make sure the correct sorting number is used each sale. Sorting numbers will change every sale and the appropriate sale date will be printed below the sorting number. This ONLY applies to items tagged with colored card stock. Items tagged with WHITE card stock (and therefore marked to go to charity if unsold) do not need a sorting number. If a white tag has an old sorting number - it is 'OK' to leave 'as - is'. We will not be looking at sorting numbers on white tagged items. 1.) Price:

A note to our Work Exchangers (formally called volunteers): Please note that the Work Exchange program has a preferred advantage over being a 'Sorting Seller'. Work Exchange Benefits: * Small lines on during the Work Exchange Sale * First picks of merchandise * Opportunity to buy the same items for the cheapest price * Pass to get into the ½ price day sale (1) hour early on Sunday * Our eternal gratitude : Our goal is NOT for Work Exchangers to become 'Sorting Sellers" instead of the Work Exchange. We need ALL of our Work Exchangers. We have developed the "Sorting Sellers" program in order to give Super Work Exchangers additional help sorting unsold items on Sunday night.
Our Purpose: To
provide quality, affordable children’s
items to our community while honoring Jesus
Christ in everything we do. ~ Julie, Amy &
Doris "Children are a gift of the Lord." ~ Psalms 127:3 * Gift Certificates Available. Sponsored By: www.EventsLeader.com |
