Tagging & Pricing Tips

Watch our Tagging Tutorial Videos for step-by-step help.

Group like items: Match outfits, bundle accessories, or set book collections.

Use multi-quantity: Save time when entering identical items.

Price to sell: Lower prices move basics (Carters, Old Navy, maternity), while boutique or big-ticket items can go higher.

Opt into Half-Price Day: Consignors who do typically sell 50% more and take home fewer leftovers.
