A consignor is someone who has Gently Used or New Items to sell that is organized and provides a location by, KID MANIA (KM). A Registration Fee & Consignor Fee is given to
KID MANIA for these services.
All Fees are put back into the Resale Expenses.
In order to be a consignor, you need to contact me (see tab above) to receive our brochure and return the
registration slip with your fee before the deadline of our next event. The Agreement is on the CONTACT ME page. This is how it works:
CONSIGNOR INFORMATION
$25 Registration Fee : FALL REGISTRATION CUT-OFF DATE SEPTEMBER 4th!
25% - 10% Consignor Fee (You Retain 75% to 90% of your Profits!)
GETTING AN ID#
You need to contact me with your full information (name, address, phone, email, how you heard about us)
by selecting the Contact Me Tab above. KM will email you a brochure & you need to return the registration
slip with your fee before the deadline. A completed registration form must be submitted as
agreement to the terms of this sale (do not just send a check). This fee is used to pay for the hall
expenses. If you have already participated before, you will keep your same ID#. Everyone still needs to return the registration form (even if you just volunteer only or you are a vendor) & fee (if applicable).
TAGGING
WE DO NOT ACCEPT HAND WRITTEN TAGS! We are use a Tagging Software (TagIt) with Barcodes. We want everyone to use it for FREE
(or purchase it for yourself under $20) to print tags from the convenience in your own home. OR as an exception to those who don't have a computer/printer KID MANIA will send you an Inventory
Sheet and produce your tags for you for a fee. (Must be pre-approved, please email me). These barcoded tags will be for a faster checkout & a more accurate accounting process! The software also produces a report for you to show you what sold & what did not! It is truly worth the cost and easy
to download. After the sale, detailed summary report of what sold will be sent to you (not the tags).
You are responsible for tagging and pricing your own items (see Tagging Tab). There is no limit on the amount of items to bring and we accept all brand names. All clothing must be put on hangers that you
purchase (they are non-returnable). However, during the sale we save hangers and then divide them up
equally among all the consignors during pickup on Sunday!
Also see Tagging Tab to check RECALLED ITEMS! You are responsible for all of your items. It is against
the law to sell recalled items and the responsibility falls back onto the consignor.
DROP OFF
You will have from 12 noon - 6pm Thursday before the event to drop off and set up your items. Racks have dividers by size and gender. Tables will be clearly marked for shoes, small items and toys. There will be
designated floor space for larger items, equipment and furniture. Maternity clothes have their own designated racks. A volunteer will be there to direct and help you.
VOLUNTEER (no children)
Consignors - Volunteering is mandatory at least 3 hours. For EACH 6 hours you volunteer, you will receive
a 5% discount from the consignor fee that is taken from your sales. All volunteers are able to attend our presale and if you are a consignor you will also receive a ticket for each hour you work to try to win one of our donated raffle baskets. (You must be present on the last day of the sale to pick up your prize; therefore if you are not a consignor but a volunteer only, you cannot participate in our raffle.)
Volunteer Only - If you don't have items to sell; however, you would like to volunteer to attend the presale,
you must volunteer a minimum of 6 hours.
You must fill in the Volunteer Sheet being sent out before the event with a day and time that is good for you and is not already taken. You also pick out which job responsibility you want to perform. It is a first come first serve as the slots will fill up fast. The Sheet will have descriptions of all job titles and responsibilities listed on the second page. Drop Off & Pick Up Volunteer Help is usually set aside for those traveling the farthest!
PRESALE
Volunteers are the only people able to attend our presale. The presale is Thursday night 6pm-8pm before
the Public Sale on Friday morning. You must have turned in a registration form to be on the invitee list!
HUSBANDS ARE NEEDED! IF BOTH OF YOU WORK 3 HOURS YOU MAKE THE
6 HOURS REQUIRED FOR YOUR 5% DISCOUNT! OR A FRIEND OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBER CAN
VOLUNTEER TOO TO GET THE 5% AND THEY CAN ATTEND THE PRESALE!
If you cannot volunteer during the sale we offer three other ways in which you can help. 1. Thank You Bag Volunteer: You will assist stuffing these bags that we give to each customer. 2.

Your name must be on the Presale Invitee List in order to enter the building for the PRESALE.
DONATIONS
Any items that did not sell and you wish to donate are picked up at the end of our event. We currently
donate to The Genesis Center in Washington, PA. www.genesispgh.org. They provide support & services
to those women facing an unplanned pregnancy, adoption or foster care. They will accept any sizes NEWBORN to size 4 only, necessity items, and Maternity clothes. If your tag is not marked for donation
and at Pick Up you decide to make a Donation, it is YOUR responsibility to take your item off the rack and
put in the donation pile. You cannot leave your items there assuming we will donate (otherwise we will
assess a $10 fee from your Settlement Check).
For Tax Purposes, you are responsible to keep track of what you donated. Yo will need to use your TAGIT Software for the report of items that were Donated (that did not sell) and if you placed any extra items on that table, you will have to keep your own personal records. The Genesis Center will provide me with their
tax form if you need it. I will only send out if you request via email at kidmaniasale@yahoo.com.
If you need help with the TagIt reports write to info@tagityourself.com or contact KID MANIA.
PICK UP
You (or a designated person) are responsible to pick up your items right after the event. They will be
sorted for easy pick up. You are also responsible for placing donated items (that were not marked on tag) on the donation table. You will also receive any raffle basket that you might have won. Also hangers are
divided up equally among the consignors and pins are put in baggies (FREE). If you did the tagging software, you can bring your Summary Report to mark off items. Any items not picked up or left
behind after the pickup time will not be returned and a fee of $10 will be deducted from your settlement check.

A settlement check will be sent to your address on your registration within 2 weeks of the event. You have
0 days to report any discrepancies, once the check has been cashed or after 10 days, all discrepancies are void. Checks must be cashed within 2 - 3 weeks so we can balance out our sale. We do not provide
replacement checks, so cash them fast before they get misplaced!
