How-To-Guide to Consigning:
Step 1: Get Your Consignor #
Click on NEW CONSIGNOR to get your personal consignor number. Your personal consignor number allows you to log in to our consignor homepage so you can register your items and sign up for volunteer opportunities at our children's consignment sale.
Click CONSIGN to get to our consignor homepage and begin to register your items for our upcoming sale.
Step 2: Decide What to Sell
1. Get organized! Don't wait until one week before our children's consignment sale to gather your potential sale items. Start separating clothes, toys, baby gear, children's athletic equipment, etc. in anticipation of our sale. We will only accept holiday clothing and toys at our Holiday Toy Sale. A detailed list of what can be sold will be provided via email when you register to consign.
2. Make sure that the clothing and items you want to sell are in great shape. We will gladly accept gently used items free of smoke and pet odors. Put new batteries in electronics. If batteries are required, you must include them! Wipe off any accumulated dirt and dust from the garage or basement. Play sets, bikes, strollers, highchairs, swings, & sports equipment, etc. must have ALL working parts securely attached and must be assembled on site. Just a reminder, we will not sell incomplete, broken, stained and/or ripped items. [Please revisit our Consign page for more information.]
3. Please donate or give away items that do not meet Lil' Badger Consignment Sale standards. Remember, ALL items will be inspected for quality by designated volunteers. This is OUR community sale - let's make it a great one!
4. Start hanging CLEAN pressed clothes on hangers, bind similar books together, place toys with little parts in clear plastic bags, tie shoes together with a zip tie or place them in clear plastic bags. If you have the original box or price tag - use it! Well-presented items typically sell more & at a higher price. See Tagging Guide below for more details.
Step 3: Prepare Your Items for the Sale/Tagging Guide
1. Please price your items to sell! Use the Pricing Guide below for assistance. We encourage you to sell any unsold items at the 50% Off Sale on Sunday. You will earn more money & you will have less to pick up after the sale. If you are interested, unsold items can be donated after the sale to our local charity. If you plan to donate unsold items, you should try to sell them for 1/2 price the 50% Off Sale.
2. Clothes should be on plastic hangers. Please do not use wire hangers because they can snag & destroy clothing and they get tangled in the racks. Ask around, many local retailers throw away their plastic hangers and are very willing to give them away. Contact us at lilbadgersale@gmail.com if you have trouble locating plastic hangers for your consigning needs.
3. When you are looking at your garment, the hanger should be positioned so it looks like a question mark "?" and consignor price tags should be pinned on the RIGHT shoulder. Use safety pins (not straight pins) to adhere your price tag to your garment. A piece of clear mailing tape over the safety pin gives it added security. Remember, items with missing tags cannot be sold. Use clear mailing tape or painter's tape to adhere your consignor price tags to toys, books, strollers, etc., and be sure the UPC symbol is visible for a quick & efficient check out.

Step 4: Item Drop Off
1. Register for your Drop Off Appointment time.
2. Please sign your online Consignor Contract & Volunteer Contract (if you intend to volunteer).
3. Sign-in when you arrive at the Monona Community Center for your scheduled Drop Off Appointment. If you do not intend to donate your remaining items at the end of the sale, please drop off a large plastic bin (no lid) with your consignor number posted on it. This will allow for an efficient pickup after the sale.
4. Please be on time for your Item Drop Off Appointment and allow our designated volunteers time to inspect the quality of your items prior to placing them on the selling floor. It may take upwards of 45 - 60 minutes for the entire process. As stated before, please do not be offended if your item is not found acceptable for the sale and is returned to you. We strive to provide the best quality items so our community sale will be a success.
5. It is your responsibility as a consignor to get your items on the selling floor in the designated locations. We will have a small number of racks on wheels and volunteers to assist you in placing your items on the selling floor, but it may be necessary to bring a wagon or an extra pair of hands to help you with the process. Note: this process is easier without small children.
We encourage you to volunteer at our sale. The biggest benefit to volunteering at our sale is you get into the PreSale before the general public & consignors.
