Tagging Information
  • Use 3x5 index cards VERTICALLY (whole card, not cut).  Cards must be legible and filled out according to the diagram below.  Kids Market will not be responsible for illegible or incomplete cards.
  • Price items ONLY in 50 cent units (i.e. $5.00, $5.50).  Price your items to sell!!  To determine an appropriate price, start at 1/2 of the original price and work down according to age and wear.  1/3 of the retail price is a good target range.
  • Kids Market will not accept small items valued at less than $1.00. If you think your item is not worth a dollar, add something to it to increase its value or don't bring it.
  • Use the following size categories in tagging your clothing: newborn, 3mo, 6mo, 9mo, 12mo, 18mo, 24mo, 2T, 3T, 4, 5, 6, 6x(girls), 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20.  Juniors for girls must be sized 0,1,3,5,7,9,11 and 13.   Only use S, M, or L for maternity clothes.  No ladies' clothing will be accepted (i.e. sizes 2, 4, 6, 8 etc.).
  • Write "BOY" or "GIRL" directly above the size on garments that are either unisex or could be considered questionable.  This will help us place the item in the correct area.
  • Hang clothes on appropriate-sized hangers, facing left like a question mark.
  • Pin index card to top, right corner of the garment, when it is facing you, with a safety pin.  NO STRAIGHT PINS PLEASE.  The pin should be placed in the middle of the top blank area, just below the upper price. This will allow us to quickly tear off the index card at check-out, expediting the process.  Pin pants, skirts and shorts at the top of the hanger, with zipper facing front.  SEE DIAGRAM BELOW.
  • Place any loose pieces or parts in a ziploc bag and SECURELY fasten the bag to the main item using clear packing tape, rubber band, safety pin, etc.   Do not use scotch tape to secure toys.
  • Place other items, such as shoes, sheets, belts, etc. in ziploc bags.  Include a completed card in each bag.  Be prepared to open bags at check-in for quality check.
  • Half-price sale tagging: Items not sold by 6 p.m. on Friday may be included in a 1/2 price sale on Saturday.  If you wish for any of your items to be included in this special price reduction, please DO NOT place a red dot above the price on the index card of those items.  SEE DIAGRAM BELOW.  Selling the remainder of your items at 1/2 price means more $$'s for you!
