You will enter your items into our seller portal and print them out on 65lb paper or higher at home. The tagging instructions are included on the Preparation and Tagging Items page.
Who sets the prices?
Consignors price their own items. However, you will want to plan to price your items at 30-50% of the original retail amount. The lower the price, the better it will sell. Consider what YOU would pay if you were buying the item. We have also included a convenient Pricing Suggestion List for your reference.
50% OFF DAY: You decide which items you mark as half off. However, we are asking all Consignors to select at least 30% of their sales items to be discounted to 50% off on the final sale day. This will ensure a successful ½ off Sales Event.
When do I bring my items to the sale?
You will bring your items, Consignor Agreement Form and self addressed stamped envelope on the date and time you selected on the Check-In Schedule page.

This will be conducted by appointment only to ensure that everyone has a fair share of time and you don’t have to wait too long to check-in. A Mommy Swap Meet Event staff member will carefully inspect each of your items. Once your items have been inspected we will receive it and merchandise them for maximum sales potential!!
