Curriculum Sale
Consignment Instructions

If you wish to consign materials, please follow these instructions carefully! Incorrectly labeled items of items with missing information cannot be accepted and will be turned away.

Step 1. LABEL YOUR MATERIALS AS FOLLOWS:

  1. Tape a 3x5 index card (click on link below for an example) in a visible location on the outside of each item to be sold. Please do not use 3x5 paper, as it is too easily damaged during the sale. We suggest taping the card to the back of all books to avoid potential tears to book covers. Do NOT use staples or paper clips.
  2. Put tape on top and bottom of each card 3x5 index card not corners. The card must be fastened securely enough to make it through the sale, but not so tightly that it can't be removed.
  3. Include the following information on each index card 3x5 index card:
    Your Name
    Your assigned item number (You assign these yourself. Numerical order usually works best)
    The price
    The Title (for books) or description of the item. Make sure the title or description matches: your inventory sheet, the physical item and your index card
    OPTIONAL: Additional information about your experience or condition of the materials. For example, "Missing 3 pieces but still usable", or "My kids loved this game.
  4. All sets or combination items must be bound together securely with rubber bands. Sets to be sold as a unit should only have one (1) index card. Please indicate on the card and on your inventory list (see below) how many items go with the set. Items consigned as a unit may not be sold individually.

Step 2. CREATE AN INVENTORY LIST

  1. Click on the link above for an example of the inventory list. Make a list of each item to be sold using the item number you assigned from your 3x5 index card. Your item numbers, title on your 3x5 index card and title of the physical item MUST match those on the inventory list.
  2. Include the item number, title, and price for each item.
  3. Include your name, address, telephone number, and email address on the first page of your inventory list (additional pages may contain your name only). Also, please indicate whether you expect to pick up your unsold materials after the sale or if you wish to donate them.
  4. Keep a copy of your inventory list for future reference.

Step 3. BRING THE FOLLOWING ITEMS TO NAMPA CHRISTIAN HIGH SCHOOL ON THURSDAY, JULY 7 BETWEEN 1:00 PM AND 6:00 PM.

  1. All homeschool materials you wish to sell.
  2. Your inventory list
  3. A self-addressed envelope. You will receive a check for the amount you sold minus 10% to cover sale costs.

Step 4. PICK UP YOUR UNSOLD ITEMS BETWEEN 6:00 PM AND 8:00 PM ON SATURDAY, JULY 9, 2011
  1. Any unsold items that are not picked up during the designated time WILL be considered a DONATION!

FINAL NOTES AND SUGGESTIONS:
If you are computer savvy, you can use the Mail Merge function to print labels that automatically link to an inventory spreadsheet. However, labels must then be placed on the 3X5" index cards and taped to items as outlined above.

You must set your own prices, balancing your desire for return on your investment with your willingness to drag home unsold materials! A good rule of thumb is to sell products based on the condition of the item and how much it would cost new. Brand new items generally sell for 1/2 the original price, while used items sell for less.

If you have materials that you wish to get rid of but don't want to bother to sell, please bring them as well. We maintan a "free" table for these general exchange items.

Classical at Home makes every effort to safeguard your items, but in the event an item comes up missing, we will not be held responsible.
