Hello from Sweet Repeats!
Our Event is fast approaching and we wanted to send along some helpful information.
Sweet Repeats Fall sale is September 24th , 2011. Doors open at 7:00am.
Registration for sellers is ongoing but will close on September 16th. You will still be able to enter inventory until it reaches the cap of 18,000 items. Volunteer registration will remain open until September 22nd . Please refer to our website for more specific information!
If you are consigning, we've included the following tips:
* Mr. Clean magic erasers do a brilliant job cleaning up plastic toys. A clean toy will sell much faster than something that looks used.
* Oxy Clean Baby does a great job on those stubborn formula stains. Simple soak that yellow stain in a bowl of water with a generous supply of Oxy Clean. (Always test on a small area first).
* Description Fields: Use only lower case letters, this will prevent run off and printing problems
* Discount: We highly recommend letting your items go for 1/2 price at the Noon - 3pm sale. You will still profit, and won't have to bring items home!
* Donate: Do you really want to lug home your items that do not sell? Do you really want to have to store them for another year?
* Bar Codes & Printer Settings: Make sure your printer setting is on
"Grayscale, black cartridge only" * Barcodes must be crisp, brilliant and straight. If you are running out of ink please change the cartridge. Sweet Repeats has the right to refuse items where multiple barcodes are present as well as barely visible.
* Supplies needed:
60-67 lb. white cardstock ONLY, inkjet or laser printer, safety pins, hangers, packing tape
(DO NOT tape over bar codes or safety pins), zip-loc bags
* Toy Recall: Please refer to
www.cpsc.gov for the latest toy, clothing, and equipment recalls.

* Sweet Repeats has the right to refuse items that are on the recall list

You can find updates to the current item count on the Seller News page of our Sweet Repeats website and also on our Facebook page.
Sellers We will continue to provide the envelope and stamp. Yes, that’s right, no need to bring a self-addressed stamped envelope with you upon check in. We will be verifying your address during the check in process so please make sure to update your contact information.
