Preparing Your Tags • You must use our software to tag items. Handwritten tags or tags from other sales will not scan in our

• • • •

system. Embedded in each bar code are 4 important things: your consignor number, the price of the item, whether the item will go half-price, and the item number from your inventory. General pricing guideline: 1/3 of the retail price. Tags print 6 to a page. We suggest printing and tagging groups of 30-36 items at a time. Create an account. Then login to the tagging system with your username and password. (Look for the green Login button on the Home page of the website: www.jocosale.com) You will see a screen like this:

• Click on “Enter Items” (see red arrow above). • Then you will see a screen like this:

• Ignore the red box- we are not having a half-off sale for our event. • On the right side of the screenshot above, you select the size, type in your description, and select the

category. All of these can be left blank if you choose to tag more quickly. Select “blank size” and “blank category” from the drop-down menus if you wish to handwrite these on your printed bar coded tags later. • In the bottom middle of the screenshot above, you select the number of tags you are adding and click the “Add Item(s)” button. Immediately your tags will show up underneath. • When you are ready to print your tags (you can print immediately or login later and print them), click on the “Print Tags” tab on the blue bar at the top of the page. (See red arrow) • This is the screen shot you see when you are ready to print:

• Select the items from the list at the bottom of the screen that you want to print. Click the “Generate

Tag(s)” button. The system will give a pop-up window asking you if you want to print ____ # of tags. Select “ok”. • A .pdf file be created. Print the file (on white or light or neon card stock!) Your tags will look similar to this:

Tagging Your Items: • For toys and equipment, attach the price tag with clear packing tape or zip ties. Make sure tags

are securely attached to all items. • For books, games, and other delicate items, consider using easy-release blue painter's tape to

attach your tags so that the tape will not tear the item. • Double check all of your price tags for price, consignor code, and accurate information. • Bring a self addressed, stamped envelope so that we can mail your payment. • See schedule of events below for drop-off, shopping, and pickup details.

Schedule of Events Drop-Off Thursday 5pm-8pm and Friday 10am-1pm. Please sign up for a check-in time online (login to the tagging system to do this).
