For your protection, we ONLY accept items
that are tagged in the following manner:
- All items must be tagged prior to arrival at the Sale.

Tags must be taped to the case using clear tape. Do not use masking tape.
- You MUST use string tags with the tag portion at least
1-1/2 inches long. You may make or buy them. If you make them,
the tag must be made out of heavy paper, not cardboard. Tie
strings as short as possible when attaching to items. Use Post-its
ONLY on books, magazines, videos, DVDs and cassettes.
- Each item must have a tag. The tag must be on the
item, not on hanger, bag or container. For two-piece items put
a tag on each piece, BUT price on only one tag. DO NOT
USE MASKING TAPE TO TAG CLOTHING. Clear
packing tape can be used to attach your tags to hard items.
- NO staples or straight pins. Safety pins only. NO duct
tape or scotch tape to secure tags!
- The tag must have BOTH your first and last names.
NO CODE NAMES OR INITIALS. Name and price

use a stamp or draw this special mark yourself.
