Spring Sale Canceled

We're sorry but due to low application turn out we are going to have to cancel the spring sale. If you turned in an application your money will be returned to you ASAP thank you!

Tips for Sellers

It is completely up to you if you want to bargain. If you are not willing to barter on the price, you may want to post a sign stating that all prices are firm. If you are willing to bargain, you may want to post a sign stating that no reasonable offer refused.

Clearly label each item with price and size. It also helps to sort your items by size.

Bring enough bags (plastic or paper) to offer to your shoppers for the items they purchase.

Make sure you have plenty of $1 bills and change!

Don’t leave your money accessible to the general public. A hip bag or apron with pockets is a good idea.

If you have more items than can fit on your table, consider leaving them in totes or boxes under your table and bring them out as you sell items. Begin with your best items or best priced items on the table to begin the sale.

Make sure that your items are clean and in good working order.

If you are selling large items, make sure they are clean as well. People are more likely to buy items that look newer than ones they would have to clean before using.

Make sure your multiple-piece items are connected together with safety pins or put in a zip lock bag.

If you are sharing a table with someone else, make sure that you have different tags to collect as you make a sale to assure both parties get their rightful monies.

Be selective when deciding which clothes to bring. People will be looking for quality clothes in good shape – no stains or broken zippers – and will pay accordingly.

Tips for Shoppers

General
Get there early!

If at all possible have exact change ready for the entrance fee.
(Getting folks in goes much more quickly if the workers are not making change.)

Bring a friend. You can split up and cover twice as many tables quickly.

Consider renting your own table. If you have a table, you get to shop the other tables before the sale opens to the public.

The sale can get very crowded, therefore strollers are not recommended.

If you can go child-free, it will be easier for you and your child. If you have to bring your children, bring a friend, dad, or grandparent to help.

Make space in the trunk of your car - you never know what you may need to take home!

Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. You might even want to leave that heavy jacket in the car!

Buying
Bring enough cash and keep the bills small!

Keep your money easily accessible but safe. A hip bag is a good idea.

If you are looking for large items, visit the large item area first as these items usually go fast!

Bring a large tote bag to carry your purchases.

Don’t be afraid to make an offer for an item.

Check all items carefully before buying. Check for broken zippers, missing buttons, stains, rips, or tears (especially along seams).

If you are looking at a toy, make sure all of the pieces are included.

If you are not looking for large items, consider arriving later during the sale. Most sellers will be willing to bargain as it gets closer to closing time.

Sellers and Vendors are expected to stay at their tables until 1:00 PM. Do NOT start packing up prior to the end of the sale as a courtesy to shoppers who may come later. You are responsible for clearing your 10 foot space of all items and taking them home.  Vendors must check –out there spots before leaving.

If you do not wish to keep your unsold items, a local thrift store will be coming at 1:30 PM to pick up any items you would like to donate. You must be available to load the items in their truck at 1:30 PM.

Sellers and Vendors are expected to provide their own change, their own bags, and are responsible for the collection and payment of all taxes, which may be due and payable as a result of sales made.  Our venue will not provide these items. Sellers and Vendors are also expected to act as their own security for items that they bring to sell. FCF MOPS and FCCS cannot be responsible for any losses, damages, or theft.

Sellers can rent a 10X10 space for $15 to sell gently used items your family no longer needs. Direct Sales Vendors can rent a 10X10 space for a fee of $30 to participate in the sale. These spaces do not include a table. If you need a table for your items, we have a limited number of round tables to rent for an additional $5. All sellers and vendors must keep their items in the area assigned to them and not have items protruding out into the walkways where they may cause someone to fall or trip.  Each space includes 2 large items free of charge to be placed in the Large Item Area.

A maximum of two adults (15 years & older) per table will be admitted for set-up and running of the table.

Sellers are responsible for pricing and tagging their own items, any signage and arranging them in an attractive and orderly manner. This will help them sell their items.

Sellers are asked to not bring children with them to the sale. (Infants and breastfed children are welcome as long as they are supervised at all times.)  Unsupervised children will not be permitted to roam through the sale unattended.

Large Items

There will be a “Large Item” area where sellers and vendors can place items for $2.00 per item priced at $49 and under, and $4.00 per item priced $50 and higher.  Each vendor who has purchased a table space may place 2 Large Items free of charge.  Anything larger than 2’ x 2’ must be placed in the Large Item Area, ie: bouncers, swings, strollers, etc. to maintain clear pathways in the shopping areas, and for greatest visibility, hence sale-ability for items.

PLEASE take the time to think about how many large items you will have and register an estimated number. Please bring all Large Items to the Friday night set-up to allow the organizers time to prepare the area. We cannot GUARANTEE that we will be able to accept more items the day of the sale.

No car seats manufactured before 2007 or recalled items. Sellers must sign a form releasing FCCS and the organizers from any responsibility should the seller be found to have sold items that have been recalled.

Participants are required to provide the organizers with a detailed list of each large item and price during set-up on Friday, April 24, 2015 if not completed on the contract prior to this date. Large items need to be clean with working batteries. We reserve the right to refuse items not in good repair. Each participant will be given an envelope at check-in for their large items. If the item sells during the sale, the money will be held in that envelope for you to pick up at the end of the sale.
