How it works
You are assigned a specific seller number to identify your
items. You price your items using the appropriate color
tag. You receive 85% of the purchase price, the other
15% goes to running the resale but most importantly to
help minister to other families. We inspect each item and
if it does not meet our guidelines it will be returned to you
after the sale along with any items not sold. You may use
the yellow donate tags if you would like us to give the
unsold items to charity instead of picking them up.

If you make a mistake you MUST get a new tag, no corrections
on tag allowed!
Attach tag with a safety pin on clothes, through Grace Point Resale.
Pin item onto the items upper left shoulder side, this will be your
right hand side as you look at the front.
Hanging items make sure the opening of the hook is facing the
left as you look at the front of the item, check the acceptable/
unacceptable list to see what must be on hangers
1. Inspect and Clean

Make sure it is child oriented

Make sure it works, must have working batteries

Make sure it is in good condition, clean of all spills and dirt

Make sure it has all its pieces, puzzles must have a picture of what it looks like
2. Package

Do NOT tape items closed so that we are unable to inspect them

Storage bags are the best way to package items
Small pieces may be placed in a bag and taped to the item they go to, do not
cover switches
Bedding must be in a clear storage bag with tag taped inside, do not tape bag
shut as the items need to be removed to be inspected (see acceptable list for
details about bedding and related items)
Books: singleton books do not belong in bags, only multiple books
Shoes must be in a ziplock bag

3. Tag

See previous page for basic information

Difference on filling out tag, no need to circle boy or girl

Tape tag inside storage bag, information facing out so it can be read

If not using bag, tape tag to item. Try to use a flat surface like a bike
seat opposed to the handle bars.
We ’ re picky on purpose
We know it can be frustrating to get items returned because
it ’ s a little worn, has a small stain, or something “ minor ” .
But we want to provide the best items we can.
Our inspection motto is this:
If we see it ( stain, tear, etc. ) , we reject it ( small or large )


Items must be brought on hangers, in laundry bag (one complimentary bag per
seller) or in boxes
 Clothes and toys should be packed in separate boxes

Items are to be dropped of at Grace Point, follow the signs, the week of the resale during the following times only:
Monday, 4:00pm - 9:00pm
Tuesday, 9:00am - 7:00pm
 Make sure you sign in when you drop your items off
 This is also when you will pay with your $5.00 check for next resale
(checks only—cash is not accepted)
 When dropping off large items please do not leave until the item has been
inspected
Pick up time is 4:30-5:00pm the day of the sale
Items that do not sell or are not accepted are to be picked up after the sale

You need to bring your own box or basket to carry your items, do not take the
boxes we have them in as we need them for the next sale
