1. Piled all my cleaned-up toys into a bin.  Put dollar store batteries in toys that needed them. 30 minutes
2. Washed and hung clothes on hangers then separated by gender and size.  I double checked for stains and quality during this time as well.  2 hours
3. Sat at my kitchen table with bin next to me and clothes piled on the table. 
4.  Tip: make sure to keep clothes in order.  Entered inventory into the computer. 2 hours.
5. Printed tags and trimmed excess paper using a paper cutter.  TIP:  I piled two sheets at a time together to trim and cut.  After trimming I cut the tags down the center then horizontally. Finally, I piled the tags in item number order.  Item numbers will be on the tags.  This helps to keep the sequence when you tag your piles of clothing. 2 hours
6. Pinned and taped tags on 140 items.  2 hours. 

I had approximately 20% toys and 80% clothes.  No big ticket items because I sold most of my big baby gear at the previous sales.  My inventory total was $440.

12 hours of volunteering=80% earnings plus 8 hours and 30 minutes of preparation time=20 hours and 30 minutes of work.

I sold 90% of my items.  My earnings were $313.63 after I paid my consignor fee and earned 80%.  I made $15.30 per hour tax free.  WOW!  I thought this was great especially being able to work almost half my hours from home and volunteering at the sale was the best.  It was like a girl’s night out.  I had so much fun.  I also got to shop early and found great deals.  A huge savings there too.
