All of our tagging is done online. To use the MyConsignment Manager system, you must first create an account and register for our sale.  You will need to pre-pay the $10 registration fee in order to gain access to the tagging system.  This fee is non-refundable unless you work three shifts (12 hours) at the sale.

You will use the MyConsignment Manager system to:

• enter items
• print tags
• choose a check-in time
• choose a work shift
• manage or edit inventory before and after the sale
• view reports of items sold each night during the sale
• print lists of items sold or donated after the sale

Entering items

Save time by sorting clothing by gender and size and grouping non-clothing items together. Then log in to your Seller Home Page and begin entering your items.

We generally suggest pricing items around 1/3 to 1/4 of the price they were when new. Most families have an abundance of infant clothing, so price those items a bit less to make them attractive to shoppers. Boutique brands, double strollers, items new with tags, and outdoor play equipment sometimes sell for more. Think about what you would be willing to pay for the item. Sellers who price reasonably and allow items to be discounted on half-price day generally sell a high percentage of their items.

Use numerical sizes for all children’s clothes. If the label says “small”, please list the size your child wore when the item fit. For maternity and junior sizes, you will find the size listed along with the category.  Just choose the appropriate category and leave the size field blank.

Give as much detail as possible in the description field. We can now search the database to find items that get separated from their tags during the sale. It is much easier to match a lost tag to a “pink Kelly’s Kids striped shirt with flamingos” than to a “shirt”.

If you plan on using the guarantee option for items priced over $15, you MUST list brand, color, and size (if appropriate) in the item’s description.

If you check the discount box, then your item will be sold at half price on the last day of the sale. If you leave it unchecked, then your item will not be marked down. Discounting your items is optional.  We suggest pricing items reasonably and also using the discount option.  Sellers who do so usually sell a high percentage of their items.

If you check the donate box, then your item will be donated if it has not sold by the end of the sale. If you leave it unchecked, then your item will not be donated. All items remaining on the sales floor at the end of pick-up, including those in the lost and found, will be donated regardless of how the tag is marked. Donating your unsold items is optional.  If you choose to donate unsold items, you can easily print a list for your tax records.

PLEASE NOTE: Notice at the bottom of the screen that all of your items are listed below the entry form. If you leave this tab or are timed out of the system, then all of the items at the bottom of the page will disappear. DO NOT WORRY. They are still in the database and can be accessed via the Manage Inventory screen.

Manage Inventory

The Manage Inventory screen can be used to edit multiple items at once, delete items after a sale, or transfer items between sales.  If you need to transfer items from a different sale, please contact us for instructions.

Printing Tags

You will need Adobe Acrobat in order to print your tags. Most computers already have this installed.

Use the selection box to generate a list of tags to print. You can print all at once or a few tags at a time. From the item list, select the items you want to print. Tags will print eight to a page, so print in increments of eight to save paper. Or click on “Check All” to save time and download as many tags as you can evenly.

If you have logged into MyConsignment Manager via the links on the Kentucky Kids Consignment Sales website, you will not need to enter a print code. Should you need a print code, refer to the email you received after registering or call or email us.

Now click on the link that says “Click Here to Open Your Tags Document” that is inside the box.  Only click once and wait if your computer has a slow connection. You may need to turn off your pop-up blocker or right-click and use the “open a new window” option.  If you need to save the PDF document containing your tags to your computer or a USB drive for printing later, look in your “downloads” or “desktop” folder.

You will see what your tags will look like on the screen. If you are not satisfied with the text on your tags, discard the PDF, back out and fix any errors before printing.

NO PDF TAGS SHOWING? Try right clicking on your mouse while you are on the link and choosing “open in a new window” as your pop-up blocker may interfere with Adobe.

Load your printer with 60-67# cardstock or coverstock paper which is widely available at office supply stores or Walmart/Target/Kmart. (White or light colors – NO dark colors) DO NOT PRINT ON REGULAR COPY PAPER. The tags WILL tear and wrinkle and bend and will cause problems. Use a normal or even “draft” print setting as too light or too heavy printouts will keep the barcodes from scanning correctly. Make sure the paper is loaded properly and press OK. Your tags will print with the barcode right on the tag. Check the printout after the first 8-24 items so you can catch any mistakes before you continue. If you have a color printer, choose “black cartridge only”.

Cut tags apart and stack in order so you can attach with 1″ or larger safety pins (for clothing) or tape for baggies, books etc. DO NOT TAPE OVER THE BARCODE. Be careful when attaching tags to notice the description and make sure it matches the item.

DID YOU GET AN ERROR WHEN PRINTING? ARE YOUR BARCODES FUZZY OR THICK & VERY DARK? Go to the ‘Print Items’ tab and select these items again and reprint with a lower print quality if needed.

Important Notes

Items must be tagged using the MyConsignment Manager system.  We cannot accept handwritten tags.

Changes  in price, discount, or donate information cannot be handwritten on tags.  The information in the barcode will override the information in the system.  Should you decide to change price, discount, or donate options, you will need to edit that item in the system, then reprint a new tag.  Once the sale inventory locks, no changes can be made to tags.

Choose a Check-in Appointment

Once check-in times are made available for selection, you can go to the “check-in” tab, check the box for the time you want, then click the “add me to selected appointment” button.  If you need to change your scheduled time, log in any time prior to the closing of the schedule, remove yourself from the appointment, then pick a new one.  Evening & weekend appointments fill quickly, so please select those times ASAP if you require them.

Choose a Volunteer Shift

Once volunteer shifts are made available for selection, you can go to the “volunteer” tab, check the box for the time you want, then click the “add me to selected shifts” button.  If you need to change your scheduled shift, log in any time prior to the closing of the schedule, remove yourself from the shift, then pick a new one.  Evening & weekend shifts fill quickly, so please select those times ASAP if you require them.
