Seller Guidelines
Items for Sale
We accept new and gently used, season appropriate items. The sale item minimum is 10 items or $20 total minimum
value. The sale maximum is 150 appropriate items unless volunteering. (See Volunteer information on front page)
Clothing must be in good condition and free from stains, holes, rips, tears, missing buttons, animal hair or odor
(smoke, etc.). We do not accept items that we determine to be badly worn, offensive, inappropriate, frightening,
outdated, or handmade items that would normally sell as a personal business. We also do not accept
undergarments. (See list of Season Appropriate Clothing on last page) We retain the right to reject anything we
deem inappropriate.

Hanging Instructions:
All clothing items should be hung as shown in diagram below with the hanger hook pointing to the left (picture a
question mark) and the tag pinned to the right side with safety pins. (No straight pins accepted!) Complete outfits
sell best - try to group items together as much as possible.
All clothing (including skirts and pants) must be securely fastened with safety pins to the TOP of the hanger as
shown in the diagram. Items should not fall off or slide to the bottom of the hanger when tugged gently. Buyers
overlook items that slide to the bottom of the hanger. For your best interest, please secure all clothing items to top
of hanger so it will sell.
We prefer wire hangers, however we will accept plastic hangers if items are securely fastened per the guidelines
above. Clip hangers for pants are not accepted.
Infant onesies and gowns sell better when hung on hangers and placed in clothing section. Grouping several infant
onesies together onto a single hanger also assists in sales.
Shoes must be in good condition - we do not accept badly scuffed, worn or dirty shoes. A maximum of 20 pairs of
shoes will be accepted. See Season Appropriate Clothing list on last page. Shoes can be packaged in several ways
dependent on size:
• Smaller sizes can be placed inside a ZipLoc bag with the tag securely taped with packing tape to the
outside of the bag.
• Larger shoes should be zip tied together. Packing tape can be placed over both sides of the tag for
strength before attaching to the shoes. The tag can be attached by punching a hole for the zip tie or placed in a
small Ziploc bag and push the zip tie through the bag. Taping the tag to the bottom of the shoe is not
recommended.
Toys, games, books, and puzzles - must include ALL pieces and be in working order. Battery-operated
games and toys must have WORKING batteries. Loose pieces or accessories should be sealed in Ziploc bags and
attached securely to the toy using clear packing tape. Print duplicate tags for items containing more than one piece
to insure that all pieces are kept together during sale. Please check for toy recalls at this or other websites:
www.parents.com/product-recalls/toys/.
We accept gently used books for children and teens. The only adult books accepted are pregnancy and parenting
related. Tags should be attached using clear packing tape on the backside.
We do not accept stuffed animals unless they are battery operated, animated or educational.
We do not accept any toy with monsters, toy weapons, or like items and retain the right to reject any toy we deem

• DVDs (rated G and PG only) & music CDs - both must be in original casing & taped closed
(No VHS tapes accepted)
• Video Games (rated E only)

inside and the bag taped shut. Children and Teen Purses, backpacks, hats, and miscellaneous items should have tag
pinned securely to item.
Preparation/Entry
All inventories must be entered and printed by 9:59 on August 7th.
Clean, appropriate items should be sorted by size and gender before entering into system. (It is not required to
rubber band sizes together.) This will make the tagging process much easier and faster! When entering items,
please use a complete description of your item including brand, color, design, etc. The description line is long to
accommodate LOTS of information. This benefits you in case the tag gets separated from an item - it is easier to
match the item to its tag and sell it if there is a more complete description. List by number - not by small, medium,
or large. Be sure to include the gender - boy, girl, or maternity. If an item is slim or husky, or has an adjustable
waist, please note in the description.
Remember to mark items as 1/2 price that you want reduced on Saturday. You may also choose to check a box to
automatically donate an item at the end of the sale. If you plan to donate all your unsold items at the end of the
sale, we suggest marking them to sell for 1/2 price on Saturday. You may at least make half the cost instead of none
at all!
Items must be priced in whole of half-dollar amounts with nothing less than $.50. When pricing items, please
consider that this is a consignment sale, not a department store. A good rule of thumb is 1/3 of the new price if an
item is in excellent condition, and 1/4 of the new price if it is in good condition.
Tag Printing
Use ONLY bar-coded tags that you create and print from the online system. Please print tags on white or light
colored cardstock paper. The ink on tags must be readable for the scanners to work properly. Please insure
that your tags do not print out faintly or are unreadable due to low ink in your printer.
Checkout will run more smoothly and will insure that your sales are calculated properly. Also, when cutting tags be
sure to cut where indicated. The barcode should be intact at the bottom of each tag. No handwriting on tags will be
accepted.
Drop-Off
Items may be dropped off in the Chapel of Kennesaw First Baptist Church. This is the building that is on the far left if
you are looking at the church from Main Street. Drop-off will be by appointment only - sign up for a time when you
register. Please remember to allow for approximately 30 minutes when picking your drop-off time. Each item will be
examined closely and inappropriate or unacceptable items will be given back to seller or donated.
End of Sale/Pick-up
No seller will be allowed to pick up before 4:30 on Saturday. Remember to pick up your items at the time that you
chose for pick up when you registered. Any items not picked up by 6:00 on Saturday will be donated and you can
add them to your tax-deductible donation amount. All items that are marked donated and/or left after 6:00 will be
given to the Hope Center, SERV International, and various organizations chosen by Lil’ Blessings Consignment
Team.
A tax donation letterform is available for your convenience on our website.
All checks will be mailed and should arrive within 2-3 weeks after sale.
Though we use care in dealing with your merchandise, Lil’ Blessings Consignment Sale and Kennesaw First Baptist
Church cannot be responsible for tagging errors, accidents, damage, or theft.
You agree to the terms of these guidelines when you electronically register as a seller with Lil’ Blessings Consignment sale. Delivery of your
items to the Lil’ Blessings consignment sale location for the purpose of consignment is also considered acceptance of these terms.
