Preparing and Tagging Items

Before you begin, please create a user account (see "register to consign"). Once that is completed, you are ready to begin. This new tagging system is easy to learn, and will save you time. While we still allow manual tagging (instructions below), we strongly encourage you to use the online system. The online system saves you time in tagging your items, allows you to manage your inventory, tracks your sales, and calculates your profits!

Please price your items1/2-1/3 of what the normal retail price is. Items that are like new or never used you may want to price higher. However, you need to be watchful of not overpricing you items. As a guideline, ask yourself, "What would I pay for this?"

Jack n' Jill is a quality resale. Please be sure to examine your items carefully before bringing them to check-in. We will check the items thoroughly and return anything that is stained, ripped, torn, missing buttons, out of date, not working, or does not have batteries to operate.

Important Reminders:

When using the online tagging system you MUST use 60-67 # cardstock. Normal copier paper will not work. Use an inkjet printer, and set your printer on quality to "NORMAL", not best. It affects how the barcodes print.
Items must be priced a minimum of $1.00.
Do not tape over barcode on the tag, it will not scan.

Clothing must be hung on plastic or wire hangers, turned to the left.
