About our sale

Quick tips to make the most of it

Here are tips to help you make the most money with the least effort. Consignors receive 70% of proceeds and a tax donation letter for the 30% donated to CFUMC. Expect your check and letter within 4–6 weeks of the close of the sale.

Start early

Keep a spring/summer plastic bin and a fall/winter plastic bin. Add items as your kids outgrow them. Keep a separate toy bin.

Organize

After registering, hang clothes and sort by size and gender before tagging.

Price competitively

The goal is to declutter, sell, and make some money. Don't overprice — there are many items to choose from.

Discount

Discount every item in case you priced a bit high. Fri 25% / Sat 50% works well.

Good condition only

No rips, stains, holes, or excessive wear. Toys must have all parts and working batteries.

Use only our paper

We use the tag paper colors to sort items for pickup on Saturday.

Tagging instructions

Please help us run a smooth sale

Failure to follow these procedures may result in a charge to the seller or items pulled from the sale.

Do

  • Use ONLY the paper we provide in the packet — colors are used to sort Saturday.
  • When printed correctly, each tag will measure 2.5" wide by 4" long. Check printer settings if not.
  • Tags print 8 to a page — print in multiples of 8 to ensure you have enough.
  • Use safety pins to secure tags to the TOP RIGHT corner of clothing — one pin per tag.

Do NOT

  • Tape over safety pins
  • Tape over barcodes
  • Use staples, duct tape, or straight pins — SAFETY PINS ONLY
  • Use plastic gun taggers — clothes tagged with them will not be accepted
  • Tape tags to card stock or over tags from other sales
  • Use construction paper — barcodes are not readable
  • Use cardstock

Registering & managing your sale

  1. 1

    Visit our private MyCM link

    Go to myconsignmentmanager.com/cfumc. If asked for a "print code," you've accessed MyCM incorrectly.

  2. 2

    Register

    Registration is $10 per sale. Payment is required upon registering — PayPal or credit card. No PayPal account required. No refunds.

  3. 3

    Verify your info

    Make sure your address and email are correct. Checks are mailed directly. We don't sell your email, but we do communicate about the sale.

  4. 4

    MyCM locks Sunday at 2PM

    Before the sale, MyCM will LOCK on Sunday at 2PM so we can properly prep.

  5. 5

    Select a check-in slot

    Select CHECK IN from the main menu page to drop off your items.

  6. 6

    Pick-up vs. donate

    If you choose to Pick Up unsold items instead of Donate, arrive at 5:30PM on Saturday. Missing that window means items are donated to charity that evening and a $15 fee is deducted. Mark all items with a "D" for DONATED.

Prepping your items

Helpful hints before drop-off

Prep checklist

  1. 1.Launder all items; check for stains, rips, or missing buttons.
  2. 2.Sort by gender and size — it makes creating tags easier. Then price & create tags in MyCM.
  3. 3.Hang your clothing with the coat hanger hook facing LEFT (like a question mark).
  4. 4.Pin tags to your items — TOP RIGHT for clothing.
  5. 5.Use only ONE safety pin per tag. NO straight pins.
  6. 6.Sort clothing by boy/girl and by size BEFORE bringing them.

Helpful hints

  • All clothing items should be on hangers.
  • Choose the smallest size when selecting (e.g., a 6–12 month outfit → mark as 6 months). MyCM sizes match our racks. We accept children's clothing infant–18 and Juniors XS–XL.
  • Price items for a quick sale & consider discounting: Fri 25% / Sat 50%.
  • Use zip lock bags and painter's tape or clear packing tape to secure toys, games, multi-item sets, socks, hats, and belts.
  • Infant clothing under 12 months isn't a top seller — shoppers say they receive many as gifts. What sells: New with Tags, special holiday outfits, sleepers, and greatly discounted top name brands.

Each seller is responsible for checking www.cpsc.gov to ensure their items are not recalled. You will be asked to sign a waiver at drop-off. We reserve the right to refuse any items at any time. Thank you for helping us uphold these safety standards!
