animal hair or odor (smoke, etc.). We do not accept items that we determine to be badly worn,
offensive, inappropriate, frightening, outdated, or handmade items that would normally sell as

Dress Up Items
Hanging Instructions:
All clothing items should be hung as shown in diagram below with the hanger hook pointing to
the left (picture a question mark) and the tag pinned to the right side with safety pins. (No
straight pins accepted!) Complete outfits sell best - try to group items together as much as
possible.
All clothing (including skirts and pants) must be securely fastened with safety pins to the TOP
of the hanger as shown in the diagram. Items should not fall off or slide to the bottom of the
hanger when tugged gently. Items that slide to the bottom of the hanger are overlooked by
buyers. For your best interest, please secure all clothing items to top of hanger so it will sell.
We prefer wire hangers, however we will accept plastic hangers if items are securely fastened
per guidelines above. Clip hangers for pants are not accepted.
Infant onesies and gowns sell better when hung on hangers and placed in clothing section.
Grouping several infant onesies together onto a single hanger also assists in sales.
Shoes must be in good condition - we do not accept badly scuffed, worn or dirty shoes. A
maximum of 20 pairs of shoes will be accepted. See Season Appropriate Clothing list on last
page. Shoes can be packaged in several ways dependent on size:

Smaller sizes can be placed inside a ZipLoc bag with the tag securely taped with packing
tape to the outside of the bag.

Larger shoes should be zip tied together. Packing tape can be placed over both sides of
the tag for strength before attaching to the shoes. The tag can be attached by punching a
hole for the zip tie or placed in a small Ziploc bag and push the zip tie through the bag.
Taping the tag to the bottom of the shoe is not recommended.
Toys, games, books, and puzzles - must include ALL pieces and be in working order.
Battery-operated games and toys must have WORKING batteries. Loose pieces or accessories
should be sealed in Ziploc bags and attached securely to the toy using clear packing tape.
Print duplicate tags for items containing more than one piece to insure that all pieces are kept
together during sale. Please check for toy recalls at this or other websites:
www.parents.com/product-recalls/toys/. We accept gently used books for children and teens.
The only adult books accepted are pregnancy and parenting related. Tags should be attached
using clear packing tape on the back side.
We do not accept stuffed animals unless they are battery operated, animated or educational.
We do not accept any toy with monsters, toy weapons, or like items and retain the right to
reject any toy we deem inappropriate.

DVDs (rated G and PG only) & music CDs - both must be in original casing & taped closed
(No VHS tapes accepted)

Video Games (rated E only)

Leap Pads, Nintendo DS Games, etc. These games may be accepted without a case. Place
loose games in Ziploc bag with the tag inside the bag and tape the bag shut. Consider
grouping several games from same device into “grab bag” for better sale.
Baby Equipment and Furniture such as strollers, bouncers, swings, walkers, Pack & Plays,
high chairs, etc. are accepted if in good condition, without stains, odors, tears, and not under
any recall. We do not accept cribs that were manufactured before June 28, 2011. We do not

Pack & Plays should be set up for better presentation; sellers will be asked to put together and
set up at drop-off.

houseware, adult themed items, or handmade items that would normally sell as a personal
business. Items such as comforters, bumper pads, or large blankets may be hung and tag
pinned on, or grouped together in clear plastic bag with tags securely attached with clear
packing tape.
Small Accessory items such as belts, socks, hair bows, tights, etc. should be placed in
Ziploc bags with the tag inside and the bag taped shut. Children and Teen Purses, backpacks,
hats, and miscellaneous items should have tag pinned securely to item.
Preparation/Entry
All inventory must be entered and printed by 11:59 on Monday, August 8.
Clean, appropriate items should be sorted by size and gender before entering into system. (It
is not required to rubber band sizes together.) This will make the tagging process much easier
and faster! When entering items, please use a complete description of your item including
brand, color, design, etc. The description line is long to accommodate LOTS of information.
This benefits you in case the tag gets separated from an item - it is easier to match the item
to its tag and sell it if there is a more complete description. List by number - not by small,
medium, or large. Be sure to include the gender - boy, girl, or maternity. If an item is slim or
husky, or has an adjustable waist, please note in the description.
Remember to mark items as 1/2 price that you want reduced on Saturday. You may also choose
to check a box to automatically donate an item at the end of the sale. If you plan to donate all
your unsold items at the end of the sale, we suggest marking them to sell for 1/2 price on
Saturday. You may at least make half the cost instead of none at all!
Items must be priced in whole of half-dollar amounts with nothing less than $.50. When
pricing items, please consider that this is a consignment sale, not a department store. A good
rule of thumb is 1/3 of the new price if an item is in excellent condition, and 1/4 of the new
price if it is in good condition.
Tag Printing
Use ONLY bar-coded tags that you create and print from the online system. Please print tags
on white or light colored cardstock paper. The ink on tags must be readable for the scanners
to work properly. Please insure that your tags do not print out faintly or are unreadable
due to low ink in your printer. Check-out will run more smoothly and will insure that your
sales are calculated properly. Also, when cutting tags be sure to cut where indicated. The
barcode should be intact at the bottom of each tag. No handwriting on tags will be accepted.
Drop-Off
Items may be dropped off in the Fellowship Hall of Kennesaw First Baptist Church. This is the
building that is on the far left if you are looking at the church from Main Street. Drop-off will
be by appointment only - sign up for a time when you register. Please remember to allow for
approximately 30 minutes when picking your drop-off time. Each item will be examined closely
and inappropriate or unacceptable items will be given back to seller or donated.
End of Sale/Pick-up
No seller will be allowed to pick up before 4:30 on Saturday. Remember to pick up your items
at the time that you chose for pick up when you registered. Any items not picked up by 6:00
on Saturday will be donated and you can add them to your tax-deductible donation amount. All
items that are marked donated and/or left after 6:00 will be given to the Hope Center, SERV
International, and various organizations chosen by Lil’ Blessings Consignment Team.
A tax donation letter form is available for your convenience on our website.
All checks will be mailed and should arrive within 2-3 weeks after sale.
Though we use care in dealing with your merchandise, Lil’ Blessings Consignment Sale and
Kennesaw First Baptist Church cannot be responsible for tagging errors, accidents, damage, or
theft.
You agree to the terms of these guidelines when you electronically register as a seller with Lil’ Blessings Consignment
sale. Delivery of your items to the Lil’ Blessings consignment sale location for the purpose of consignment is also considered acceptance of these terms.
