This document provides instructions for tagging various items for a consignment sale, including clothes, shoes, puzzles, books, large furniture, and more. Key points covered include using wire hangers for clothes and hanging them with the hanger facing left. Pants and bathing suits should be pinned to hangers. Small items like shoes can be bagged with tags attached. Larger items should be tied together and labeled if sold as a set.
