How to consign with us:
inventory
- Register as a NEW consignor: If you have not consigned with us in the past, you will need to create a new consignor account. You will receive a consignor number and create a password.
- Returning consignors: register for the current sale using your consignor number from past sales and your password on the return consignor link on the website. The following steps can be done through your Consignor Homepage once you are registered.
- Read and sign your consignor agreement. Every consignor must electronically sign this document to participate in the sale. One Hard copy will be signed during inventory drop off. This will activate your tags. You can print a copy for yourself.
- Sign up to be a Team Member. This is not required but highly recommended. There are many benefits to helping: consignors who help can earn an additional percentage, lowers the registration fee, shop earlier at the pre-sales. Without our consignors helping during the sale, we would not be able to continue.
- Enter your items into our online inventory system. We do not accept any handwritten tags or tags from other consignment sales. Our tags are unique to our database, so only our tags will be allowed. The better your description, the more likely we'll be able to match it in the system if a tag is lost. Including information such as brand names, colors, and styles help sell your items!
- Print your tags. Please use white card stock to print all of your tags. It is available at Walmart: Georgia-Pacific Card stock, 8.5 x 11, 110 lb., 150 Sheets. Office Max 250 sheets $15.99 Recycled Specialty Cover Stock, 65 Lb, 8 1/2" x 11", Stardust White, Pack of 250 Sheets. Prices may be different in your area. Tags print 6 to a page.
- Prepare your items. Read our guidelines for what we will accept and how to prepare your inventory for sale. Clean, press, and organize your items. Make sure sizes match – no mismatched size sets will be allowed (2 T pants with size 4 T-shirt). Check your article in a brightly-lit room for stains and other issues. The better you prepare (and price) your items, the higher your check will be. All clothing must be hung securely on hangers with the hook pointing to the left, like a question mark. The Consignment Mommies website has excellent guidelines for pricing, www.consignmentmommies.com. Please check https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls for recalls.
- Tag your items, Note: Items must be tagged using WHITE CARD stock only. If you are using a tagging gun, attach our bar code tags to the garment's label or in a right-side seam only. Do not use a tagging gun in any other place!! Items with tags printed on copy paper will be rejected at drop-off.
Inventory Drop Off
- Monday, Sept 21, 2020, 4 pm – 8 pm & Tuesday, Sept 22, 2020, 12 pm – 8 pm are the times set for you to bring your items to the fairgrounds. You will be asked to bring your inventory into the buildings and place them with like items. Team Members are available in each building and do their best to be at the door to help you.
- Please come to building #1 to sign in and activate your tags FIRST and receive your early shopping pass. Please leave about 30-45 minutes to sign in and help place your items in the correct buildings. We cannot guarantee there will be someone to put your inventory away for you, but there will be people available to show where items go. *the more organized your inventory is before drop off, the faster your things can go out on the floor*

- Clothing goes to building #2. Clothing will be inspected before the sale start for stains and non-seasonal items. Items that are not for the correct selling season will be pulled.
- Please have your clothing separated by gender, size, and category. The racks will be set up by gender, size, and category (tops, bottoms, PJs, dress clothes, outerwear, and outfits). This will help make checking your items and distribution of your items a breeze.
- Toys and Nursery items are in building #1 (electronics and battery-operated items will be tested before the start of the sale).
- Any items we find that do not meet the guidelines will be pulled from the sale and marked as why it was pulled.
- Anything that has been recalled or is dirty will also be pulled from the floor.
- We do have team members helping, but with the number of people coming in all at the same time, they cannot help everyone.

Consignor FAQ
Why is there a $18 registration fee?
Your registration fee helps cover the cost of the location rental, advertising, insurance, display racks, tables, supplies, etc.
I'm a registered consignor. How do I sign up for direct deposit?
Please contact Lisa by calling 724-433-8980 to set up a direct deposit. You will need access to your email when we do this. Or email me at info@saleforkids.com, and we can complete this by email.
Is there any other way to tag my items, besides online?
No, unfortunately, there's not. We require that all items be entered into the inventory program, and tags are printed out because it makes the entire process MUCH easier, quicker, and smoother.
Can we use barcode tags from other consignment sales?
We are not able to accept other sale tags. Our tags are unique to our sales; our database will only recognize our tags.
Will I be able to track my sales during the live sale?
No, our program is not set up to track live sales. Sold inventory reports will be available online when checks are posted.
How long until I get my settlement payment?
Please allow 14-21 days after the end of the Teen and Adult sale to receive your profit check.
Do I have to be there to sell my items?
Consignors do not need to be at the sale during all business hours. You can earn a higher % if you join our team and help during the sale week. See team member information.
Do consignors have to become a Team Member?
No, but if they do, they can earn up to 80% profit. When you join us as a team member, you can see how the consignment sale works. You can talk to other consignors and see first hand what sells and how the pricing of your items work. We ask for a minimum of 3 hours to help because, without your help, the sale is not possible.
Do I have to provide my own tables and racks?
No. Westmoreland Sale for Kids provides all the equipment. We have the buildings set up in departments for you. All items will be grouped with other like items (e.g., all 2 T boys on one rack)
Where can I find wire hangers, pins and tags?
Ask your local dry cleaner for recycled wire hangers. Ask the family if they have some from a dry cleaner or if they have uniforms cleaned. Westmoreland Sale for Kids collects hangers year around. Call to see if I have any to give out. If you know someone who wears uniforms to work and their company cleans the uniforms for them, ask for the hangers. Safety pins are available in the sewing section of most discount stores (Walmart, JoAnn Fabrics, or in bulk online). The tape is available in the office supply sections of major stores. WHITE Card stock, 65-67 weight, is recommended for printing tags. (Can be found at Walmart, Office Max and Staples).
Will I get a Receipt if I decide to donate my unsold items?
With the donated items going to 3-5 different places at this time, I am unable to track where your items are being donated to so a written receipt of your donated items will not be given out. You are welcome to pick up your items Sunday, Sept 27, 2020, 7-8 pm, and donate them yourself.
