Item Preparation, Cleaning, Tagging and

Pricing Hints

All items will be inspected at drop off time for proper preparation and cleanliness. In order to save you time in preparation and drop off carefully follow these instructions. Failure to follow these steps may result in some of your items being rejected. The presentation of your items is very important. The better your items look, the more you can charge for them and the better they sell.

Supplies Needed:
  • You must print the Take2 fill in the blank bar coded tag on white cardstock (60 lbs.- 90 lbs.)  No paper tags are accepted.
  • 1 1/2" safety pins. If pins are too small they won't hold the tags or clothes and too large wil put holes in the clothing. 
  • Wire or plastic hangers. Even the retail store plastic hangers are acceptable.
  • String, yarn or twine to tie books together.
  • Zip-Ties to connect shoes together
  • Clear Packing tape to attach tags
  • Scotch tape to attach tags to books and video cases made out of cardboard

 

Item Preparation

All Items brought to the Take2 sale must be Clean, Clean, Clean !!!

Clothing 

Free of stains and tears. Use Shout Advance or Oxyclean to remove stubborn stain. You may need to treat stubborn stains several times.

No missing buttons or snaps, no broken zippers.

Season Appropriate Clothing - Fall/Winter Sale: bring boots, shoes, long sleeved shirts, sweaters, coats, hats/mittens and pants.  Spring/Summer: bring long and short sleeved shirts, shorts, tank tops, flip-flops, sandals, swimsuits.  Jeans, sport and theme t-shirts, gym shorts and onsies are appropriate at all sale events.

No out of date clothing. If you/your child haven't worn the items with in the last three years it’s probably out of date unless its a basic clothing item. 

Remove wrinkles and odors from fabrics by laundering them or use Fabreeze.

Remove pet hair with a lint brush, launder the item if that doesn’t work.

All clothing items must be on hangers. This includes onesies and sleepers.

Wire and plastic hangers are acceptable

Clothing must be hung so the front of the item and the hanger form a “2”.
When hanging shirts do so as you normally would and use only one pin to attach the tag on the uppper right hand corner of the shoulder (see picture). Pants and skirts must be pinned to the top of the hanger just below the waistband through both thicknesses which is the thinnest part of the item. Do not pin the top of the waistband to the hanger because it will slip and end up sliding to one corner of the hanger. Clip hangers work very well for this also. When pinning two piece outfits; hang the shirt as you normally would and then flip the shirt over and pin the bottoms (front side showing) to the shirt at the shoulders. Pin the tag to the front right shoulder of the shirt.


Be sure to button-buttons, zip-zippers and snap-snaps.
