How do I label my items?
Here are some suggested prices:

Maternity wear - £3-£8
Travel cots - £10-£20
Outdoor toys - £4-£20
Babygym - £3-£8
Children’s clothes - £0.50-£5
Ultimately think about how much you’d be willing to pay.
• Put high ticket prices in words as well as numbers on
the tickets to avoid confusion.
• Price in nominals of 50p only!
• When labelling shoes, please attach the label to the
shoes themselves, and not the box.
• Only attach price tickets with safety pins at the top of
the ticket or 1 strip of sellotape at the top of the ticket to
make the
ticket easy to remove at the tills. This enables us to deal
with items quickly and also ensures there is no damage
to the
ticket so it can be processed easily and you get your
money! Items with tickets attached with dress pins will
not be sold.
Pre-drop off checklist
I have:
o Read these instructions carefully (you would be
surprised how easy it is to miss things!)
o Labelled all of my items according to the instructions,
and completed the inventory
o Bagged my items according to size and gender (eg. All
girls 12-18 months bagged together), smaller bags can
then all
be put into one big bin liner
o Included instructions for buggies etc
o Placed the inventory in the provided poly pocket ready
to hand in at seller drop off
Please note:
We are unable to return hangers or bags/boxes used for
drop off
FINALLY – We have enclosed some flyers for the sale for
you to display. Please encourage your friends,
colleagues,
family and anyone you meet with a bump, baby or child
to come and shop! The more shoppers there are on the
day
means more sold items and a fantastic fundraising
outcome for the NCT. We would love all our sellers to
collect an empty
bag on Saturday afternoon
Registration has now closed.
