Pricing Guidelines|Tagging Supplies
PRICING you set the price! Price your items as if you were buying them- keeping in mind the quality, name brand and condition of your items. JUST BETWEEN FRIENDS suggests starting at 1/3 of the original price. We also suggest that you let your clothing items be included in the 25% off and half price sales.
Check here for JBF Specific Pricing Guidelines
or Check here for Easy Pricing Guidelines
$3.00 Rule if your single, hanging clothing item can't bring $3.00 on it's own, please pair it with something that will bring it to this amount. This only applies to clothing, not toys/equipment.
JUST BETWEEN FRIENDS will be conducting strict inspection of your items. Unacceptable items will be returned to you or we can donate them for you.
Use only half inch or larger safety pins to attach tag. (No straight pins or staples)
Attach safety pin side to side, horizontally on the card.
Extra security feature: If you want to secure your tag on the clothing item to help prevent switching tags, simply place the pin horizontally on the card, then put a clear piece of tape over the pin. Please do not place tape over the actual bar-code as this makes the scan unreadable. Our cashiers and baggers do an excellent job of looking at the tags and double checking that they are selling the correct item to each shopper.
Tape inside the collar:
If you would like to make an extra effort to ensure the selling of your items if they are lost, we suggest putting masking tape with your consignor number on the inside collar/or waistband of your more expensive clothing item or large items. This is optional.
Spending a little extra time getting your items ready will mean more money $$$ for you. Items that are cleaned, wrinkle free, with everything buttoned, zipped or snapped, and loose threads clipped, sell much better!I

TIP: Can't print at home? Consider saving your tags as a PDF and email to a friend, relative or Office Depot to print on cardstock. Many library’s allow you to print too!
Attach tags with safety pins: Please use size 1 or 2 safety pins; no straight pins or small gold ones. Remember all multi-piece clothing items must be safety pinned together through all pieces. This will prevent your items from separating.
Hanger Items: These items that must be on hangers and be stain-free: (wire pant hangers work best):

Loose Items
LOOSE ITEMS like infant boy/girl accessories, bows, headbands, socks, safety items, etc. can either be tagged securely a piece at a time or be grouped together in clear Ziploc bags with the tag attached to the outside of the bag. Use clear Packing tape for securing the bags closed. This prevents "little" hands from reaching in.
