All Wednesday ministries are cancelled for tonight due to inclement weather.

Children's Consignment

It is with a heavy heart that the Children’s Consignment Sales Team has made the difficult decision that starting this Spring and going forward, we will no longer be able to offer the Children’s Consignment Sale at Calvary Road Baptist Church.

 
This has been such a wonderful ministry, and we thank you for volunteering, consigning, and praying for and with us.
 
Please know there are a number of church based organizations in the area that continue to host Children’s Consignment Sales and we urge you to look into these options.
 
Again, we thank you for your support over the years and pray God’s richest Blessings over you!
 
Thank you so much for your support.
Consignment Sale

We accept Cash & Checks
(with proper ID)
We Do Not Accept Credit or Debit Cards

Our Consignment Sale offers you the opportunity to sell your gently used children’s clothing, toys and equipment and receive up to 70% of your selling price (see Seller Instructions – General Information for details). One hundred percent of the remaining profit is donated to local and worldwide missions. A consignor fee of $10 is required of sellers to offset the expenses of the sale. Consider helping at the sale as a volunteer worker. Both volunteers and consignors receive early shopping privileges on the Friday evening before the start of Saturday’s public sale. It is our way of saying “thanks” for your time.

In an effort to comply with the ever-changing COVID-19 requirements and restrictions, we anticipate having to implement some changes in our procedures, sales floor and admittance policies. We are closely following the mandates of our governor as well as our Church leadership to ensure we can make it safe for all involved. We will quickly disseminate this information as we are closer to the sale as it is becomes more clear.

 

We thank you for your understanding during the unprecedented times.

Seller Instruction

Children Consignment Sale items

General Information

 

We offer 2 options for consignors:

 

Option A) Consign AND work a full volunteer shift at the sale and receive 70% of the sales price for items sold, less the $10.00 consignor fee. PLEASE NOTE: It is the consignor’s responsibility to sign in at the volunteer station & receive a name tag & smock before starting their shift and to check out & return the smock after their shift has been completed. If these steps are not followed, the consignor will not be considered as completing a full volunteer shift and the consignor percentage will be reduced to 60%.

Option B) Consign only and receive 60% of the sales price for items sold minus the $10.00 consignor fee.

 

All consignors will have the opportunity to shop during the consignor pre-sale on Friday evening from 6:00-8:00pm. This is limited to consignors ONLY – please do not bring friends, relatives, children, etc.

Items accepted/not accepted for consignment

 

  • All items offered for sale must pertain to children and be in good, condition (smoke-free, no tears, stains, missing buttons, must be complete games or puzzles or toys in proper working order). All electronic toys must have working batteries.
  • Clothing sizes infant to 14/16 (no junior sizes please – we don’t have the rack space). Maternity and Nursing clothing will be accepted for sale. Clothing and shoes (boots for Fall/Winter sale; sandals for Spring/Summer sale) must be season-appropriate for the sale being held. For example, corduroy, flannel, wool, velvet and other heavy-weight fabrics are considered Fall/Winter fabrics. Sleeveless dresses, sandals and shorts are considered Spring/Summer sale items. Out-of-season items will be pulled from the sales floor and donated regardless of the return designation on the item tag. Jeans are always accepted.
  • DVDs offered for sale must be family-friendly themes (no R-rated items or inappropriate themes).
  • We do not accept cribs, metal children’s jewelry, breast pumps, car seats unless part of a stroller/car seat combination unit, stuffed animals unless they are the talking, electronic type or hand puppets, items listed on the Consumer Product Safety Website – visit cpsc.gov. Recalled items will be pulled from the sales floor and disposed of.
  • Items that do not meet our quality standards will be pulled from the sale.

 

Preparing/Tagging Items-To ensure proper credit for your sold items, please carefully follow these instructions.

 

  • All items must be tagged using the My Consignment Manager program – no exceptions. Consignors who do not follow the tagging instructions below MAY be assessed a $50.00 fee. Improperly tagged items will not be accepted or will be pulled from the floor!
  • Use light colored cardstock for items the consignor wants returned and stick with that color. Do not use more than one color of cardstock for items you want returned. Please do not use blue shades or gray shades of cardstock as the barcode reader is unable to reliably read information printed on these colors. Cardstock should be 60lb to 67lb weight. Paper tags will not be accepted.
  • Items marked for DONATION (items that the consignor NOT want returned) must be printed on white cardstock. NOTE: Any item with a white tag will not be returned – even if the item is marked for return.
  • Use only one tag per item.
  • All outerwear, school uniforms, dress-up/costumes, dancewear and swimsuits must be on hangers.
  • Bag all comforters and bedding items in clear plastic bags and use CLEAR tape to attach tag to the outside of the bag.
  • Shoes should be fastened together with zip ties or twine to avoid being separated.
  • Securely attach tags to books, toys, plastic bags, furniture, etc with CLEAR tape only. Please DO NOT place tape over the bar code.
  • Items with altered tags will not be accepted.
  • Items without tags will not be sold. We will attempt to match up lost tags with items missing tags. A good description of an item facilitates matching the tag with the item – for example Gymboree Pink Flowered Dress Size 4T conveys more information than Dress Size 4T. Items without tags will be displayed during return item pick-up hours on Saturday evening. Unclaimed items will be donated.
  • Small items from items with multiple pieces should be placed in a plastic bag, taped closed and securely fastened to the larger item. Make only ONE tag for the set. On an index card, write the item number of the larger piece’s tag with a description of the set. Place the index card in the plastic bag with the small pieces in case the bag becomes separated from the larger item.
  • Small items should be placed in zipper- type bags with the tag secured with tape to the outside of the bag.
  • Tape all bags closed to minimize the chance of pieces getting lost. For large items and items that will be sold under the tents outdoors, place the item tag in a small zipper-type bag and tape the bag to the item.
  • When selling clothing with multiple pieces (pants & shirts, etc.) safety pin both pieces together and use only one tag for the entire set.
  • The print quality of your barcode is very important. Print tags using the normal setting on your printer; not high quality as this may make the barcode bleed. Make sure the pop-up blocker is off and uses Internet Explorer as the browser. Tags print 8 to a page. Print a page test tags to see how they look.

If your barcodes look like this one, you’re good to go.

If it looks like the one below, realign your current ink cartridge and try again.

correct barcode

If it looks like this one, replace your ink cartridge with a new one & align your replacement cartridge.

  • Attach tags securely to clothing and soft items only with safety pins (absolutely NO straight pins, staples, tape, string or adhesive tags). Make sure the safety pin passes through the tag in two places and do not punch a hole anywhere on the tag to decrease the chance of it falling off.
  • Insert the hanger so that the hook of the hanger looks like a question mark [?]. Clothing submitted on hangers must be facing left (i.e., as you look at the item, the left shoulder or side of garment, faces out or away from rack – see diagram below). Place tag on the left side or shoulder of clothing item so it can be seen easily.. DO NOT place tags on the inside of clothing items. Please note hangers will not be returned after the sale unless the unsold item is already on one.
  • If using a tagging gun, go through the underarm seam on the left arm to minimize damage to the fabric.
tag placement
  • Clothing items will be accepted for sale either on hangers (supplied by consignor) or neatly folded. When using hangers, place the item face up on a table. To facilitate placement on the sales floor, items on hangers should be rubber-banded together by gender & size. Folded items should be boxed or bagged together by gender & size. Items should be ready to display at drop-off. Please separate out school uniforms; coats, jackets, sweaters and outerwear; dress-up and costumes, dancewear, and swimsuits (Spring/Summer sale only) as these items will be displayed separately from other clothing items.
  • Baby items (except clothing and shoes) – will be displayed in the trailer closest to the church building. Please separate out these items from baby clothing and shoes to facilitate your placing these items in the appropriate trailer.

Have questions? Please send an e-mail to crbcconsignment@hotmail.com. Someone will respond promptly.

 

Failure to follow guidelines in this document may bar you from consigning at future sales.

Tagging System

We have a simple and easy-to-use electronic tagging system through 

 
By using this electronic system, you:
 
  • Will save 50%-60% of your previous tagging time
  • Can reuse your items for future sales – WITHOUT retagging with us and with select other local sales
  • Can calculate your potential sales in dollars
  • All this at no risk or additional cost outside of our Consignor fee!

 

With your first sale, you will need to sign-up to obtain your USER ID and PASSWORD which will remain the same for all future sales. However, it is necessary to register for each sale so that we know that you will be consigning items. Please refer to Seller Instructions for specifics on how to create your tags and other important information.

 

TAGGING at a Glance! Refer to Seller Instructions for full instructions.

 

  • ALL items MUST be tagged using our online tagging system. NO EXCEPTIONS!
  • Tags MUST be printed on CARDSTOCK – White for items being donated and light

    colors for items being returned. Please do not use dark colors or shades of blue or gray as the barcode

    reader is unable to reliably read information printed on these colors. Paper tags will not be accepted.

  • Tags should be securely attached to clothing with safety pins. No straight pins or staples. While tagging guns are not forbidden, they are not encouraged. We have found that these tags become detached very easily.
  • When placing tags on clothing, please secure the tag on the upper left shoulder or for pants on the upper left pocket. Do not dangle tags at the bottom of clothing or place inside clothing.
  • Tags should be securely attached with CLEAR tape to books, toys, plastic bags, furniture, etc.
  • For large items that will be on Outside Sales Floor, please place the tag in a small zipper type lunch baggie and securely tape the bag to the item. This facilitates easy removal of the tag and protects the information in the event of inclement weather.

Volunteer Information

The success of our sales has largely been due to the tireless efforts of our volunteers. Your help is invaluable. Without you, there would be no sale. We thank you in advance for your time. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide childcare. Therefore we ask that you arrange your own childcare.

 

VOLUNTEER INCENTIVE:

This means that those who volunteer will have first choice on all the great deals. The Pre-Sale is our way of thanking you for your support. Please note that if your volunteer slot is during the same time as your pre-sale shopping time slot, you will not be able shop. We need volunteers to work the shifts for which they have signed up.   Please, no shopping during your volunteer shift times.

 

Additionally, those volunteers who also consign will receive 70%, instead of 60%, of the price of their items as our way of saying “thank you” for helping out at the sale.
