PriceSTEP #3SpringfieldTagging VideosSTEP 3:PRICE & PREPWe recommend pricing at 1/3 of retail! Ask yourself, “What price would make me buy this item and brag about it to a friend?”When you sell at JBF, you are in control of the price of each item. You also decide if it goes halfprice during our discount sale times. If the item doesn’t sell, you can either donate the item toour local charity partner, or you can pick it up.Everyday BrandsPajamasJeans / PantsSneakersT-shirtsDresses / Dress ShirtsJackets / CoatsItem$2 - $3 $3 - $4 $5+$2 - $3.50 $3 - $5.50 $6+$3 - $6 $5 - $8 $8+$1 - $2 $2 - $3 $4+$2.50 - $4.50 $3.50 - $6 $6 - $8+$4 - $6 $6 - $9 $8+Boutique BrandsBargain BrandsBargain brands = Cat & Jack, Garanimals, Cherokee, etc (retail $4-10)Everyday brands = Carter's, Children's Place, Department store brands (retail $6-15)Boutique brands = Crewcuts, Mudpie, Janie & JackPrice LOWER for:Infant Items under 12 mo.Maternity ClothingT-shirtsBundle Items to Save TimePrice HIGHER for:New with TagsBig kids sizesItems in Original PackagingCreate sets or bundles.

Be sure the hanger hook opens to the left, like a questionmark before hanging an item. PrepSpringfieldSTEP #4Hang all clothing on a hanger and attach JBF tags with safety pin ortagging gun. Bundle socks, infant mittens & hats, as well as otheraccessories in clear self-sealing bags and tape the JBF tag to the bag.Clothing ItemsWe recommend using 1.5" - 2" safety pins to attach your tagsto clothing. Your tag attaches to the front right of your item,through the safety pin indicated on the tag.Please Note:Safety pin holes WILL disappear when washedby its new owner. Adding a Tag Using Safety PinsIf you use a tagging gun to attach JBF tags, puncture throughthe manufacturer’s tag. If your item doesn’t have amanufacturer’s tag, puncture an inside seam at the necklineor right armpit (when looking at the front of the item).Adding a Tag Using a Tagging GunDo NOT puncture directly through the fabric of an item. Safetypin holes disappear when washed--tagging gun holes do not. Pin pants to the top rail of the hanger. If it is a set, hang shirt onthe hanger, turn the hanger around, and pin the pants facingfront-out onto the back of the hanger. The closer the pins areto the center of the hanger, the less likely they are to slide offduring the sale. It's a great idea to create sets in sizes NB-5/6.Larger sized items sell best as individual pieces since olderchildren tend to be more picky about what they wear.
