1. New Website: All the information is still the same, but just with a new look! Make sure you are in the correct sale event for all the correct links and deadlines.
2. Multiple Sales: There are now 3 Super Kids Resale locations: Portland, Vancouver and Longview. You can easily consign at all 3 without re-tagging your items. Go to the “Register” page on any event for the full process on how to transfer your inventory between the sales.
3. Consignor Fees: For the Vancouver and Longview sales, the consignor fee will no longer be deducted upfront using Paypal and will instead be deducted from the earnings check at the end of the sale (just like the Portland sale).
4. Snack Volunteer Shift: For the Portland and Vancouver sales, there is a new volunteer shift for people that want to bring a snack for the volunteers. This shift gets you shopping privileges before the Consignors. This does not count toward earning a higher % of your sales. See the Volunteer page for more details (this link is for the Portland sale).
5. Drop and Run: Drop and Runs are now allowed for consignors that have all their tags marked as “Donate”. The consignor doesn’t have to wait to see what is accepted or rejected, except for large items (that can be taken home if they can’t be accepted). Anything not accepted will be donated to charity before the sale.
6. Presale Guests: You are still allowed to bring one guest with you to the Presale, but now the guest needs to be an immediate family member, such as a spouse, partner, mom, dad, or in-laws (anyone shopping for your kids only). If your friend or sister want to come shop the presale, then they need to sign up to be a consignor. This is a special privilege for those who have put in the hard work to be a consignor. Thanks for understanding.
7. Consignor Teams: If you haved consigned in the past with your sister or friend under one consignor number, we ask if you would please get separate consignor numbers for this sale. You can still consign with your mom or anyone that is putting in items that are from your children. This makes it fair for everyone to volunteer the same amount of hours to reap the benefits of earning more %.
8. Flyer and Postcard Shifts: There are volunteer shifts available that entail hanging 15 flyers or passing out 75 postcards. You will not be able to sign up for these online anymore. Instead, Susan will sign you up instead once you have picked up the materials at a Super Friends Day. Email Susan in advance with specific locations for hanging up flyers. Locations are first come, first serve basis (ie only one person can hang up flyers in downtown Gresham). These shifts have filled up quickly in the past, but then some consignors never pick up the materials which doesnt allow other consignor to pick up this shift.
9. Parent Paradise: For the Portland sale, you can bring in other household items, such as furniture, “re-gifts”, purses, kitchen and décor items, crafts and even tools. See “Get Started” for a full listing of what you can bring. These items should already be put in the system before the sale starts and can be brought in during your original drop-off time. You can also bring more in on Thursday night during the 2nd Drop Off if you want.
10. 2nd Drop Off: For the Portland sale, there is a second drop off time on Thursday night from 5-9pm. Bring toys, furniture, small and large equipment that you forgot to bring to the first drop-offs. We cannot accept more clothes, shoes or bedding. These items can already be in the system, but they don’t have to be. We will have a few computers set up for you to input these items into the system. You can also bring more Parent Paradise items. We will put these items out after the shoppers leave on Thursday, so that the Friday shoppers can have first dibs.
11. New Tag Size: Since the Fall 2011 sale, there is a new tag size. The new tags are a little smaller than the previous version and will print 10 to a page (instead of 6). This will help save you in paper costs. All the information is the same on the tag, ie there is a “D” for Donate and a star for 1/2 Price Day. There is no need to re-tag your existing inventory since both old and new tag styles will scan properly.
12. Big Sellers: Since the Spring 2011 sale, you are requested to participate in a minimum of one sorting shift if you are bringing in more than 400 items.
13. Infant and Junior Clothes Sizing: Since the Fall 2011 sale, the sizes for infant clothing has changed from 0-6 months and 6-12 months to 0-3 months,3-6 months, 6-9 months and 9-12 months. If you have tags from a previous sale, they will still have the old size system. You can help with this transition by writing the correct size on your old tag with a pen so that we can hang them on the correct rack. For the Junior size clothing category, you can now use Small, Medium, Large, XL and XS sizing to help further define the size.
14. Infant and Maternity Clothes Limit: Since the Fall 2011 Sale, there is a limit on the amount of infant and maternity clothing per consignor number.
0-12 months: 100 Items per Sex;
Maternity: 25 Items
15. Onsies: Since the Fall 2011 Sale, onsies are no longer accepting onsies and bibs in Ziploc bags. For onsies, you can group 3 or more together and hang them on a hanger. For bibs, you can tag one individually or you can attach a few together with a tagging gun. They will be placed in bins or hung on racks.
16. New Tagging Tips: Please do not attach a tag to an item with a safety pin to the front of the item!!! This will leave a hole in the item, and shoppers might pass up your item for this reason. A tagging gun is your best option, but if you still want to use safety pins, pin under the armpit or to the clothing tag.
17. Ziploc Bags: Since the Spring 2011 sale, the new policy for Ziploc bags is to tape the tag to the inside of the bag instead of the outside. This will provide extra security so that tags are not switched or lost during the sale. Be sure to seal your Ziploc bags shut with packaging tape so items don’t get removed.
18. Drop Side Cribs: Since the Fall 2011 Sale, we can only accept drop side cribs manufactured to the June 2011 standard.
19. New Recalls: Since the Fall 2011 sale, draw strings are not allowed anymore on clothing items for sizes 16 and under. You can just remove the drawstring from the item before and still sell the item at the sale.
