Looking to clean out your house? Want to see your items get re-sold or donated to charities rather than filling up landfills?
Sign up as a consignor for our next sale!
Consignors do not need to attend the sale (unless they want to shop!). They are responsible for pricing and tagging all of their items and dropping them off the day before. Volunteers will do all the work at the sale.
You will receive 55% of all profits from your items sold. Anything not sold gets donated to local charities. You can also label select items “do not donate” if you want them back if they do not sell.
Selling your stuff is as easy as 1…. 2… 3!
1. Register to become a consignor online through My Consignment Manager. If you’ve never used the My Consignment Manager system before you can make up your own 6 digit seller number.
2. Use the My Consignment Manager system express tagging option to price your items by 9:00 AM on Friday, April 12 and print your tags on cardstock paper.
3. Drop off your tagged items to us between 2:15 PM – 7:00 PM on Friday, April 12 at Eglinton St George’s United Church and let us take care of the rest. Just sit back and wait for your e-transfer! (within 3 weeks after the sale). You can check your settlement report in My Consignment Manager to see what you sold the day of the sale.
Frequently Asked Questions
How should I tag my items?
Start here. Always login through the link on our website.
Use the express tagging option for fast tagging (note: you will not be able to see exactly which items sold but it’s quicker and easier than the traditional tagging option)
Select a price
Keep “Donate” checked off as yes (all items are donated after the sale unless you request it back - see No Donation FAQ below)
Select the quantity of tags needed at that price
Print on cardstock if possible (to avoid lost tags)
Use only ONE unique tag with its own unique item number for each item to be sold
Securely fasten the tag using safety pins. Covering the safety pin with tape makes the tag more secure. Do not cover the barcode.
For baby equipment and books use masking tape on both ends of the tag to secure it to the item (blue painters tape works best to not damage items!).
Place smaller items such as shoes and socks in Ziploc bags and then tape the tag onto the bag. Do not put the tag in the bag and do not put other clothes in ziplock bags
How should I price my items?
When you register as a seller you’ll receive an email with pricing guidelines and the average price that items have sold for at past sales.
What items can I sell?
Refer to our “Shop” page for a list of specific items you can sell at the sale. Items must be in GOOD condition. All items are checked before being placed on the floor. We are not an option for disposing of ruined clothes or broken toys and baby gear. Any items with stains will be retagged for $1, set up in a separate location, and if it sells the money will go to The Great Kids Stuff Sale. Any items with rips or toys and baby gear that do not work are disposed of. If a seller gives a significant number of damaged items you may not be accepted as a seller at future sales.
How do I see which items have sold?
You can check how many items sold by logging into the system and clicking “View settlement report”. The system will be fully updated by 1:15 PM on the day of the sale. Do not check view inventory. That will not be accurate until the sale system is completely shut down after the sale. If you want to see which individual items sell you need to use the traditional tagging method and input each item into the system with a description, brand, and price. This allows you to identify the item in the system after the sale.
Can I get items back that I don’t want to donate?
All items are automatically defaulted to be donated at the end of the sale. There is a “Donate” box on the tags that will be automatically checked off. If your item is priced at $25 or above and you do not want to donate it please unselect donate and when you print the tag circle the price in RED. We call these “Red Dot” items.
Any “Red Dot” items must be picked up from Eglinton St George’s United between 1:30 – 2:00 PM on the sale day. Any unclaimed “Red Dot” items will be donated and you may be charged a $50 fee for us to arrange delivery of these items to charity.
You can check if these items sold before you come by checking “View Settlement Report” after 1:15 PM on the day of the sale.
How do I get paid?
You will receive 55% of the profits minus a $3 administration fee. Etransfer payments will be sent within 3 weeks after the sale.
Why do I need to print on cardstock?
Using cardstock drastically reduces the chance that your tags will fall off your items. If an item does not have a tag we will have no way to ensure you receive the proceeds of the sale of that item.
What if I want to sell more than 1000 items?
Please contact us and we will increase your item limit.
Can I print my tags after 9:00 AM on Friday?
Yes. You can still print your tags after 9:00 AM, however, you will not be able to enter any new items.
Can I transfer items from another sale that uses My Consignment Manager?
Yes, you can transfer items from previous GKSS sales if you didn’t drop them off or from other sales who use My Consignment Manager. In order to transfer items go to manage your inventory, select item transfers, select the applicable sales and transfer your items.
Before printing tags check the following:
The previous tags description is not too long for the current sale’s tag. You will be notified of this when you ask to generate tags to print
The previous tag’s discount/donate options do not conflict with the current tag (note that we do NOT have discount option)
Your seller number on the printed tags matches your registered seller number for this sale
