We are now open for registration for the spring 09 sale!
Just go to http://www.dudsfordoodlebugs.com/ and click to register as a New consignor or returning consignor. If you can not not remember your consignor number and/or password let me know and I will retrieve it for you.
For the first time, we are limiting the number of consignors for the sale. This is simply because we want to make sure that we have enough volunteers and enough time to get all items on the floor properly.
We will also have the building for an additional 2 days. This will give us more time to get set-up and an extra day to sell your items!
Mark your calendars! We will start drop-off Saturday (20th) at 2pm. We will open again Sunday (21st) 10-8. Unless prior written permission is given to a consignor, we will accept no items on Monday (22nd). Instead we will use this day to set up. If this poses a problem for any of you (you will be out out of town or have a scheduled surgery or some other conflict that you are aware of now) please let me know ASAP so that I can try to make other arrangements for you.
Our pre-sale will begin Tuesday (23rd) at 1:00 for our volunteers that work 20+ hours. See our web site www.dudsfordoodlebugs.com for more shopping times. Reminder- if you have a ticket that says ou shop at 1pm, it simply means that you can not shop earlier than 1pm- your ticket is good for any time that we are open that day. If your ticket says 4pm, it means you can shop anytime 4pm or later. You do not have to be there at 4pm (but I recommend it for the best deals!). Reminder- no children will be allowed on the floor during the pre-sale (other than quiet nursing babies). Please make arrangements now for a spouse, grandparent, neighbor or babysitter to watch your child while you shop. Or maybe you have a good friend that would swap childcare with you- she shops for a while and then she lets you shop for a while!
One more Very Important Note- mark your calendars!!! We will cut off all entered items early this year. Monday, March 16th at 10pm will be the cut-off for all entered items. I realize this is in the middle of spring break for most of you. Please use the holiday on January 19th, prior weekends and nights to enter your items if you are unable to do it during the work day. The items will need to be entered and tags printed. You can pin the tags on the items, etc later if you want- but the items must be entered into the system by the 16th. If you have any questions about this, please let me know. We are requiring this so that we can make sure that we have plenty of volunteers scheduled to help with set-up.
Many of you have asked if we will accept all seasons of clothes this sale. The short answer is yes, we will. However, please keep in mind that fall/winter items will likely not sell well. We ask that you keep them at a minimum and bring only the nice items that you feel will truly sell. Personally, I will pull out only a few things that I am certain Madison will not be able to wear next year and will sell for a higher price (I will not put in any discount or dept store items).
I am so excited about this sale!
If you have any suggestions, comments, concerns please let me know!
