Our First Scrapbook Garage Sale is Coming Soon!
Garage Sale Information
When: May 17, 2008Time: 11 am until 2pm and 2:30pm until 5 pm (many items half off during second half)
Where: Scrapbookers Dream classroom
SELLERS GET TO SHOP FIRST in our pre-sale. Bring in at least 12 items to receive a pass for the pre-sale and get into the sale an hour early!
If you are interested in participating or would just like more information, please read all of the information/requirements carefully. Everything you will need to know is outlined below.
Drop Off Times: Tuesday, May 13 thru Thursday May 15th from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm. During drop-off, your items will be inspected to ensure that they are labeled correctly and that your seller number is on each tag. This is simply a courtesy, so that none of your items accidentally get put into the sale without a seller number or price. We want your items to sell. :) You can call the store to get a number or come by.
Pick Up Times: Tuesday, May 20 thru Thursday, May 22 from 5:30 to 8:30 pm. **Please note that if you are unable to pick up any unsold items, you will need to arrange for someone to pick them up for you. Any items remaining after Thursday, May 22 at 8:30 pm will be donated to a local non-profit organization. If you do not wish to pick up any unsold items, you can let me know when they are dropped off and they will be donated following the sale.
The most wonderful thing about our sale is that you do not have to stay with your items all day! This is something that we will be taking care of. We will keep track of your sales by removing the index cards from your items as they are purchased. Unfortunately, we cannot be held responsible for lost or stolen items (fortunately this is quite rare in our hobby). We will have an employee in the classroom at all times, and we will treat your items with great care. Please make sure that your price tags are securely attached to your items, and that your seller ID is on every tag.
How it Works - The Details
If you are interested in selling items during our garage sale, you will need to contact the store and request a seller identification number.
Tagging Instructions: All of your items will need to be tagged in a very specific manner. If your items are not properly tagged, they will have to be corrected before we will allow them into the sale. All tags will be inspected during drop off times.
We're asking everyone to use 3x5 index cards (or cardstock cut down to this size) and label them as follows.
1. You will need to draw a straight line approximately 1-1.5" from the top of the card. Please do not write anything above this line. We will be cutting the tag from your item along this line. Just below the line you will need to clearly write your seller number. This space on the top of the tag is where you would put your safety pin, staple, or heavy duty packing tape.
2. Next, you will list the item's name. Please try to be specific if you can. Eyelets isn't a very good description if your tag is accidentally removed and we're trying to match it back up. However, if your tag reads "Making Memories Green Eyelets", then we will be able to easily match the tag back up with your item.
3. Then, give a brief description about the item. For instance, how many die cuts are in this bag? Or how many eyelets are in this particular lot? Or is the item relatively new, or has it been used for a long time? Be sure to give any pertinent information in this section.
4. Finally, you will need to clearly label the price for your item. **Please note that prices need to be in increments of FIFTY CENTS. The least amount you can price any item is FIFTY CENTS. From there, the next price would be ONE DOLLAR. From there is $1.50, $2.00, and so on. Please keep in mind that garage sale pricing is typically at least 50%-75% off of retail prices. If you feel that you have something that does not have a value of at least fifty cents, you may package it with other items to include it in the sale. Groups of papers (die cuts too) will sell much better than just one or two sheets of paper. Keep this in mind when you're gathering up your items. Feel free to group items and make a "Birthday Kit" (for example) with papers, ribbon, embellishments, papers, etc. It's okay to mix things up. You don't have to keep paper separate from stickers and other embellishments.... but they normally sell better if they are all the same theme or style.
As a seller, you will decide whether or not you would accept half of the marked price for your items. If you would accept HALF of your marked price for your item after 2:30pm, you do not need to denote this on the tag. However, if you would NOT accept half of the marked price on your tag, you must put N.D. (No Discount) on your tag. This will let us know that you do not wish to have your item discounted during the second half of the sale.
**Loose items will not be accepted. By this I mean that if you're bringing ten die cuts and you would like to ask fifty cents for the entire group, they need to be put together in one plastic bag. Ziplock bags work great for this sort of thing. Paper and any other "loose" items to be sold as one group also need to be combined in large bags or sheet protectors. The local dollar stores sell inexpensive index cards and plastic bags. Please feel free to re-use packaging from your other scrapbook purchases... the plastic bags from a kit for instance can be great for selling your papers in.
5. Once you've packaged your items, you will need to attach your 3x5 index card. This can be done several different ways. If the item is fabric (ex: a paper taker or tote), you could safety pin the card to it in the portion above the line. If your item is in a bag or other container, you will need to use packaging tape or staple to securely attach the tag to your item. Please keep in mind that we will be cutting these tags off of the items as they are purchased. Please make sure that your tag is attached securely, but in a manner that allows us to easily cut it along the top line. We will have examples of priced items available in the store to clear up any confusion. I can't stress enough how important it is that your tag is SECURELY fastened to your item. Please use clear packing tape, not just plain scotch tape. Scotch tape will not hold in most cases.
After The Sale
We will tally up grand totals for everyone. You will receive store credit equal to your total sales, and this can be redeemed in the store just like cash! So, if you sell $20 worth of items in our garage sale, you will receive $20 in credit to spend on all of the fabulous new stuff in our store!
I sincerely hope that everyone will enjoy moving out the old and bringing in the new with our first scrapbook garage sale! If you have any other questions or concerns about the sale, please contact the store by calling the store at 325-677-CROP.

Correction on About Me Club Cost
On the calendar, I have incorrectly put that the cost is $10.00 for the About Me Club. For that club, the cost is only $5. Sorry about that, but I am sure you will all be happy that it was a mistake.
Remember with this club you bring your own supplies, and our topic for this month is "A Day in the Life". You will need pictures of things you do throughout the day.
The club meets the second Tuesday of each month, the scheduled date this month is April 8th.
Hope to see you soon. Karla
