Mommy's Market has a great barcoding system! Sellers can print customized barcodes from their home printer! 

Here are some benefits of our barcoding system:

1. Entering your item information in our system takes less time than writing out everything by hand on price tags
2. Sellers barcodes are customized and detailed. By printing customized barcodes sellers will be able to keep a very detailed inventory checklist.
3. By using a barcoding system we will know what items you sold by the end of the sale and your check will be ready right after the sale! You get your money fast!
4. Barcoded tags look professional and there will not be any confusion as to how much your items are, the correct price will be scanned into our point of sale system at checkout.
5. Barcoding your items allows us to prepare our sales area before the sale. We will be able to plan our floor plan based on what items you have barcoded. This way buyers can find what they are looking for in less time and your items will sell quickly!!!!
6. Our system lets you print out an inventory check list. You don't have to waste your time making a list of what you are selling and how much each item is.
7. If you are donating items you will be able to print a donated items report for your tax records!
Time is valuable, especially for moms-Barcoding gives moms more time!

**We accept tags from other systems and events! Contact us for more details!**

If you do not have a printer we can print tags for you. You supply the paper and we will supply the tags! However, if you choose to do this you will have "generic" tags and will not have a detailed inventory sheet. Please email us if you need for us to print your tags.

Pricing Guidelines:

A great place to get an idea of reasonable prices for items is ebay or your local consignment shop. Also, it helps to ask yourself what you would pay for the item had it been used. Items can be priced more than that of garage sales, but about 50-75% less than retail (clothes 75%-85% less than retail). Buyers are looking for a good buy. Therefore, items that are priced more reasonable will be the most likely to sell. Overpriced items will bring in NO revenue!!!! Please consider your pricing carefully!!!

*Brands such as Old Navy, Gap, The Children's Place, Gymboree, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, etc... go quickly and can be priced a little higher than other clothing items.
