Have you heard about our two SPECIAL CONSIGNOR OPTIONS? JBF can be a GREAT FUNDRAISER for your non-profit group. Check out details below! VIP PRICING is back! If you don't have time to prepare your items for the Fall sale, we can help you do that! Check out details below.

All NEW CONSIGNORS are invited to join us at one of our JBF101 "How To" Clinics to learn how to prepare your merchandise for the sale and what to expect at JBF.  Contact joanie@jbfsale.com for details.  PLEASE NOTE:  ALL JBF101's for our Fall sale have already been held.  We will be having these again before our Spring/Summer sale, so make sure you are on our email mailing list so once they are scheduled, we can let you know about them.

REMEMBER!  The September 2009 Sale is for Fall/Winter clothing items only - and of course all the other great non-clothing items that your children have outgrown!

1.  You set the price on your items!  We recommend starting at about 25%-30% of the original cost and the going up or down from that number based on quality and brand.  Learn how to prepare your items by reviewing the "Merchandise Prep" webpage.  Remember:  to be a consignor, you must have at least 25 items or $50 worth of items.
2.  You decide if you want your unsold items donated to our non-profit partners.  More information on those groups on our "Special Partners" web page.  You will indicate your desire to donate on your barcoded tag.
3.  You decide if you want your items to be included in the 25% Off and the 1/2 Price Sale.  These items will not go 25% Off or to 1/2 Price until the last 2 days of the sale.  This selection will be made as you prepare your barcode.  Please remember that if you change your mind about this price reduction AFTER you have printed your barcoded tag, you MUST go back into your tag and edit it because the price reduction choice is actually coded into the barcode.  All tags that are NOT 25% Off or 1/2 Price will have a star printed on them.  All items that go 25% Off will also go 1/2 Off.
4.  You can have the same consignor number at multiple JBF sales (most JBF sales have different owners) so you don't have to retag your items if you want to take them to more than one sale.  Please contact us and we will do our best to make that happen for you!  DO NOT just show up at JBF Fort Worth or another JBF sale and assume your same consignor # will work at that sale.  You MUST contact each sale ahead of time to confirm your consignor # with them.
5.  Since we are the largest children's consignment sale in Texas, and we are open for 7 days of selling, your items will be seen by thousands of shoppers.  We do TONS of advertising for you:  radio, TV, daycares, pediatrician offices, parenting magazines, dance studios, schools, mom's clubs, preschools, newspapers, etc.  We are advertising YOUR items!  We will be sending out over 20,000 postcards and that's what we call getting the word out!
6.  You can track your sales online at the end of each selling day.  Since we are now using the Point of Sale system (no more detagging!!!!) where your purchased items are scanned at the register, all sales will be uploaded each night after the close of business.  Please understand that many of our sale nights go way past midnight, so there are times that all sales may not be uploaded until the next morning.  We appreciate your patience!  You will always be able to tell what has been uploaded to your online tags by reading the text box at the top of your myjbftags.com website.
7.  Your check is mailed to you for 65% of the selling price about 2 weeks after the sale closes.  It only takes $10 to be a consignor and we will take that out of your check.  Want to earn more than 65%?  It's easy.  See below!
8.  You drop off your items for selling and pick up the unsold items at the end of the sale (or donate them).  You do not have to be there during the sale.  See the "Drop Off/Pick Up" webpage for details.
9.  And the BEST PART....we have a PRESALE just for you!  You get to shop before we open to the public!  

We challenge you to find a better deal on making money on your kids' items at a garage sale or at the area consignment stores.  Once you try Just Between Friends, you'll never go back to the old way of selling your things.

Want to Make More than 65% on Your Items? 

We have several great ways to help you make more on your sold items.

1.  Volunteer and automatically make 70% on your sold items.  We have a huge variety of things that can be done at the sale or at your home.  Volunteering is fun and not only do you make more money on your sold items, you get to shop EVEN BEFORE the rest of the consignors!  Click HERE for details.
2.   If you can get three of your friends to sign up to consign with JBF Fort Worth (they cannot have consigned with JBF Fort Worth before), you  can earn an additional 5% on your sold items.  To receive this special reward, your friends must reference your name when they sign up and they must actually show up to consign, meeting the minimum requirements of a consignor.  These referrals all have to happen in the same sale.  In other words, someone who signed up and referenced your name last year cannot be counted towards this sale's references.
3.  If you can get five of your friends to sign up to consign with JBF Fort Worth, you can earn an additional 10% on your sold items.  All of the same rules as listed in #2 above apply here.  So if you consign, volunteer, and get 5 of your friends to become new consignors at JBF Fort Worth this Spring, you can make 80% on your sold items....80%!  What a great way to earn some extra money and participate in the best ONE STOP SHOPPING in FORT WORTH!

OK, I'm Convinced!  What Do I Need to Do?

Step 1:  Go to our Online Signup webpage and sign up.  This will assign a consignor number to you that you will always keep.  It will also let us know that you are coming to the sale so we can prepare for you.  Please do not skip this step!  We really need to know you are coming to the sale ahead of time, even if you have consigned with us before!  As mentioned above, if we can help make your life easier by getting you the same consignor number that you have at another JBF sale, please contact us and we will do everything we can to make that switch. 
Step 2:  Begin preparing your merchandise.  Remember the upcoming sale is for  Fall/Winter clothing items (and all your other great non-clothing kids' items).  Review the Merchandise Prep webpage where you can learn how easy the barcoding system is.
Step 3:  Keep an eye on the calendar for the Drop Off, Presale, and Pick Up dates.  Read the emails that come to you from JBF as they contain important reminders.  Our email contacts always get first notice of the most important information.
Step 4:  Tell a friend!  JBF is too great to keep to ourselves!

If you don't have easy web access, call Joanie at 817-991-4721 or Pam at 817-875-3335 and they will help you with a consignor number and instructions on preparing for the sale.


Fundraising with JBF

Do you have a non-profit group that would like an easy way to fundraise?  JBF Fort Worth is your answer!  All you have to do is to go to our Online Signup and get a consignor number for your group.  Then you simply prepare and tag all of your groups' items as you would normally - using the same consignor number for all items.  About 2 weeks after the close of the sale, we will send your group a check for 70% of the amount your groups' items sold for, less the $10 consignor fee.  It's simple to do and a great way to make some money to support your group!  If interested, you must contact Joanie at 817-991-4721 for a few special instructions and to register for this special offer.
