Seller Handbook

Sorting your inventory

***ALL MERCHANDISE MUST BE PRE-SORTED PRIOR TO CHECK-IN***

1) Sort CLOTHING according to:

  • SIZE and GENDER

  • Group the sorted items together in bags/boxes when bringing items to merchandise check-in for the sale (follow the SIZING RULES when sorting).

  • Mark each clothing grouping with specific label such as “G18mo” (girl’s 18 months) or “B4T” (boy’s size 4T)

  • Sort winter outerwear, costumes, bedding or other hanging items separately.  Light jackets and pajamas go with clothes, heavier coats, costumes, and bedding go in separate sections.

  • ONLY children’s clothing up to size 18 will be accepted.

  • No Socks will be accepted for sale (unless attached to an outfit as a set).

  • Tights are allowed. Tights should be marked according to tag size. Please refer to our general sizing rules for additional guidelines. We will display the tights in ranges of sizes to aid in shopping.

2) Sort SHOES by:

  • GENDER ONLY if you only have a few (a size range on each bag/box is encouraged) 

  • If you have a lot of shoes, sort by gender and size.

  • Shoe sizes Infant – Youth 6 1/2 are accepted for sale.

3) Sort WINTER OUTERWEAR and COSTUMES by:

  • SIZE ONLY (sorting by gender is not required)

  • Group the sorted items together in bags/boxes when bringing items to merchandise check-in for the sale (follow the SIZING RULES when sorting).

  • Mark each grouping with specific label such as “18mo-4T outerwear” (sized 18 months-4T jackets & coats) or “4T-7 costumes” (sized 4T-7 Halloween or dress-up costumes)

4) Group LIKE ITEMS with LIKE ITEMS in containers, boxes or bags & label them:

  • place all feeding items together in a plastic bag or box

  • place all infant/toddler toys together in a box or bags

  • place all games, puzzles & books together in boxes or bags
     

WHEN UNLOADING YOUR VEHICLE, PLEASE DO NOT PILE YOUR ITEMS BLOCKING THE HALLWAY OR ANY TRAFFIC ROUTE.  SAFETY FIRST!!!   

Merchandise Containers

  • Sellers are encouraged to fill their two or more of their largest containers with consignment sale items and use these for 1) return bin for unsold inventory to be returned to you and 2) a hangers bin (if you want your plastic, labeled hangers back). Please label all containers brought to the sale. Return box and hanger box labels are provided at check-in, however your bins should have your name marked directly on them. If you have brought many clothing/smaller items to the sale, please consider bringing multiple return bins.

  • Any additional plastic bins or “Rubbermaid” type containers that are used by sellers will need to be unloaded and returned to your car immediately.  

  • MULTIPLES OF KANSAS CITY will NOT be responsible for any additional bins that are not specifically labeled for item returns and hanger returns.

  • Leave all lids to bins in your vehicle or at home.

General Tips for Easier Load In:

  • Children are not allowed inside the church during Set Up, Load In, or Tear Down. This is for their safety.

  • Have all items correctly sorted by gender/size and category.

  • Label each box/bag (with similar or same-type contents) using categories such as, “feeding,” “baby gear,” “small toys,” “décor,” “accessories”.

  • Bring a dolly or wagon to help haul your items from your car.

  • Allow plenty of time for load in/check in. It may take longer than you think.

  • Have all tags attached before you arrive!
