Tagging-HOW TO TAG your items
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!
Tagging Instructions:
1. Pre-register. Your consignor number is your first and last initials and the last 4 digits of your phone number. (ie Mary Smith at 555-2367 would label all her tags in the left top corner MS2367). Be sure to register on our website under registration. This will make sure that we have all the contact information we need from you plus it allows the computer to save your consignor number.
2. Items must be tagged with index cards. (Please do not attach with wire)
3. On the top right corner of the tag write the measurement of the item (example: 17" Wide)
4. Write the price, using LARGE number, in the center of the tag. Consignors are responsible for pricing their own items.
5. On the bottom of the tag, write a detailed description of the item.
6. If you wish to donate your item at the end of the sale if it doesn't sell, mark a large X in the right hand bottom corner with a red marker.
7. Attach your tag securely to the item. Zipties/ Electrical ties are best (found in the electrical department in Walmart/ Home Depot/ Lowes)
8. Make an inventory list of all the items you are consigning. List only one item per line on your inventory sheet. Please put the corresponding inventory number on your tags directly behind your seller id (Example: MS2367 is bring 12 items. For her 7th item, she would mark her tag on the item MS2367-7.) Also, mark your list with a red marker if the item is a donated item. This helps speed up check-in and check-out since we do not need to hunt for the item on your inventory. You may download the inventory sheet document below for your convenience.

Tagging Tips
Saddles- attach tags to left side on hardware hook. Do not place on horn.
Books & Videos- use masking tape around edges of tag to avoid tearing original cover of book. Tape tag on back cover.
Boots- secure a tag on the left boot with boots zip- tied together.
Clothing- attach tags to front belt loops or buttonholes using zip ties. The size tag at the neck or waist may work as well, but the tag should be easily visible. If a suitable place to attach a zip tie cannot be found, a safety pin can be used. Clothing must be on hangers. Riding jeans only (Levi's, Wrangler, Cruel Girl, etc.)
Sets or Multiple Items- attach a single tag to the main item. For all other other items being sold for one price as a set, use a handwritten tag with your consignor number, item number, & brief description only. For example: on a Western saddle outfit complete with the bridle, the main tag would be hung on the left side of the saddle. A handwritten tag with just the consignor number and item number (ie MS2367-7) and "Matching Bridle" would be attached to the bridle. This allows us to keep sets together.
Bits- these are securely hung on a display rack. Bits do not need to be in plastic bags. To measure a bit, measure only the part that will fit in the horse's mouth. This is generally the inside corner of the shank or ring to the inside corner on the other side. The majority of horse bits are 5" followed by 4 3/4" and 5 1/4". Bits can range in size from 3"-7" with standard 1/4" increments.
Blankets & Sheets- attach the tag to the front buckles if available. Side buckles also work well. Blankets are measured from the center of the chest to the center of the tail.
Saddle Pads/Saddle Blankets - It may be impossible to attach your tags with cable ties. If this is the case, please use safety pins but be sure to reinforce the tags with clear packing tape as well.
Cleaning Tips- Please take a little extra time to clean your items, especially saddle pads and horse blankets. The cleaner it is, the better it will sell. Many coin laundromats have over sized washers. After washing, allow it to dry over a fence at the barn. A power washer, car wash, or even a fence rail with a good rain storm also do well for cleaning, at least for the worst filth. For odors, including barn cat, wash your items with a couple cups of white vinegar. It does wonders at eliminating smells! Then you can adjust your price and hopefully sell it for more. Tack It Up reserves the right to reject extremely dirty items.
Pricing- Please understand that Tack It Up is NOT responsible for price decisions about your item, nor will we negotiate and call you with any "Make Offer". Tack It UP will not price barter.
