We are NOT offering an Online sale at this time...

Registration closed!!

We are so excited to once again be able to offer you the opportunity to sell your Treasures ONLINE!  Many families really appreciated this option and preferred shopping from home!  Something NEW and EXCITING that many LOVED!! We hope you have FUN with this as you make some extra $$ AND provide other families with the Treasured Once Again shopping that they have come to look forward to and depend on.

Easy Peasy Steps!!

1. REGISTER
• Register for the ONLINE Event as a regular consignor at the Altoona Site.  Registration is the same for both regular and online consignors.   If you were a new consignor at the June Online sale and have never registered here on our website, you will need to register as a "New Consignor" (need a consignor number option).

• You will pay a $5.00 Consignor Fee that will be deducted from your sales.
• You will receive 60% of your sales!! 
• The Deadline to Enter your Treasures is SEPT 13!

2. CHECK OUT THE LIST OF ACCEPTED AND UNACCEPTED ITEMS (slightly different than our regular sale)

 ACCEPTED ITEMS INCLUDE:

3. REVIEW THE BASICS FOR ONLINE SELLING:

• Consignors will drop off ONLY the items sold at the DropOff location. (Items need to arrive secure & clearly labeled as they may be moved around at our drop off location. We will have no supplies for you at drop off. Boxes/Bins will not be returned). Instructions for this are given in the step-by-step directions.

• Minimum price for items sold online will be $4.00. (Combine items to reach this value...do not overcharge just to get to this minimum).

• Consignors will make every effort to sell clothing, books, small toys, etc in LOTS (groups of like items)!  Lots can be as small as 2 items.  We suggest only selling single clothing items if they are more expensive items (Coats, party dresses, etc) Sizes within a Clothing Lot can NOT be mixed, but brands can be mixed within a lot.  However, each brand should be noted in description!

 • All items must meet the same quality standards as always and be checked for recalls.  Since our shoppers, many who are fellow consignors, will not be able to inspect the items as they normally would before purchasing, it is MORE IMPORTANT than ever that you only enter your highest quality items. We want everyone who shops to love all of the Treasures they find shopping online!

 All items must be clean..free of pet hair and smelling good... NO Smoke Smell!
 Clothing items must be free of stains, holes, and wear and tear!
 Toys/games/puzzles must be clean with no missing pieces.
 Baby Gear must be Clean and functioning and checked for recalls.
 All swings/electronics must have batteries and/or cables to prove the item works at drop off.

• Treasured Once Again reserves the right to pull any items at drop-off that do not meet the quality standards of our sale & consider them rejected with a refund to the buyer.
• Buyers will have the opportunity to inspect their purchases at pick up. We will refund any items that do not meet their expectations and our standards. We will not refund any items that they decide they just don't want or like.
• Rejected items must be picked up by the consignor or they will be donated. An Admin Fee of 25% of the Sale Price will be subtracted from the Consignor's Check. For example, if a $10 item is rejected for quality reasons you will lose the sale of that item and an extra $2.50 will be deducted from your check ($10 x 25% = $2.50).   We are counting on you to inspect your items for the shopper.

TIPS TO TAKING GREAT PICtURES (After all....it is the PICTURE that you are depending on to sell your Treasures!)

•LIGHTING IS #1...Try some pictures outside...near big windows...anywhere you will get lots of light!

• USE A SOLID BACKGROUND You can use a wood floor or carpeted floor if it is a solid color. You could use a sheet or blanket as a background. If you have dark colored clothing use a light color background. White or light color looks best with dark background. If a large item try to place it against a wall for contrast.

• TAKE MORE THAN ONE PHOTO Take several shots from different angles to see what looks best for each item or items.
• TAKE CLOSE UP PICTURES You want shoppers to get a good feel for your item.
• LARGE ITEMS Include different views of the same item. LIMIT is ONE picture...You can include multiple pictures, but they must be combined into a single picture collage..

5.  COMMON QUESTIONS AND SOME ANSWERS

How do I upload a photo for an inventory item?

Photo uploading is available on both the mobile item entry page and the PC/Laptop item entry page. A photo can be uploaded as a new item is being entered, or the item can be edited and photos can be uploaded for it. There is a small "Upload Photos" control on the near the area where discount and donate are specified on both the screen where a new item is added and where an item is edited. 

What are the rules for Uploading Photos?

You can upload 1 photo for each inventory item. Each photo must be 5 MB or smaller. If you try to upload a photo larger than the limit you will be prompted that the image is too large before you can submit the add/edit request for that item.  See Tips for Photos! 

How can I see what photos are currently uploaded for the item?

You can click to edit the item. Near the file upload control is a link to "view current images for this item". Click that link and a new tab will open showing the images that are currently uploaded for that item.

What does "Ready For Online Sale" mean?

When you have entered all the details of an item and uploaded at least one photo, you can check the box to mark the item as "ready for online sale". This is how you let me know that this item is ready for export to shopify (our online store). You cannot mark an item as ready for online sale until you have uploaded at least one photo for the item. You can check and un-check the box to mark an item ready for online sale as often as you wish UNTIL it has actually been exported. Once exported, you can no longer edit the item (it will have the lock symbol on it). You should not upload a photo for an item or mark it as ready for online sale unless you intend for it to be exported and placed for sale in the online shopify store. 

What does the "lock" symbol on an inventory item mean?

That lock icon means that the item has been included in an export file for the Online Sale. Once an item has been exported, it is then locked and you can no longer perform certain edits on that item. You can still do the following to the item - Delete it, move it to inactive/active, mark it for donate/no donate. Obviously, you should NOT be deleting items that are for sale in the online store!

What happens to the "locked" items that do not sell during the online sale?

Once the sale is over, I will be able to unlock all unsold items that were exported to the online sale.  Those items will remain in your inventory and will be available for the in-person sale.  You should delete your sold items.

6.  GET READY TO DROP OFF YOUR SOLD ITEMS...

• All sold clothing items, small toys, shoes, etc. must be placed in a bag with the tag visible.  You can use either a ziploc bag or a 4, 8, 10, or 13 gallon trash bag.  Only large items or boots that you can connect together do not need to be in a bag.  You can tag them directly.
• Once you receive your list of sold items report, you will need to print tags for those items.  The system will automatically generate them for you with 6 tags to a page.  They will include  the Order #  for the items you have sold.  You will need to attach the tag to each sold item.  Tags can be printed on paper since you will be taping them to the bags and large items.
• Sign up for a drop off….(on the website)
• You will only drop off the items that you sell.  

6. GET PAID...

• Payment will be made to your paypal account (hopefully within 2 weeks, but please give me some grace I will try my best, but with the in person sale directly after the online sale, I will not be able to process checks until both sales are complete).  If you prefer, a paper check can be mailed to you be sure to let us know.
