Annual NETHEA Used Curriculum Sale
Guidelines for Vendors
For Vendors:
Please read this section carefully if you want to sell books!
If you ordered labels at any point in the past two years and you still have some left, you are welcome to use those labels. We have saved everyone's information in a database so your number will carry over from year to year.
If you need labels, please read the following carefully:
1. Try to estimate approximately how many labels you will need. Average homeschool family needs 300-500 labels for each book sale.
2. After you know how many labels you want, multiply each batch of 100 labels times $2.50. Here is a chart to help with the fees:
100 labels - $2.50
200 labels - $5.00
300 labels - $7.50
400 labels - $10.00
500 labels - $12.50
3. If you would like to order labels, please put the following information on an index card or piece of paper:
Your name
Address
Phone Number
Cell Phone
E-mail address
(PLEASE make sure you include your cell phone and e-mail address in case we need to contact you! Every year we need to contact people and don’t know how.)
4. Mail the above information, along with the correct payment amount to:
Sonya Haskins, 277 Bob Ford Road, Jonesborough, TN 37659.
5. Once you have your labels, all you have to do is stick one label on the FRONT OF EACH ITEM and then put a price on the label.
6. Please do not price anything below 50 cents. If you have an item that is not worth at least 50 cents, just put it in the free pile OR put several smaller items together in a Ziploc-type bag and price the items accordingly.
7. Small parts, several small books, or anything with more than one manual should be placed together in large Ziploc-type bags. (We will have large Ziploc bags available for purchase the day of the sale for 50 cents each if you do not want to purchase a whole box.) Do NOT wrap books together with rubber bands as these tend to break, get lost, etc. Put these items in Ziploc bags and put your label on the front of the bag. Write on the front “Set of 5 books” or “Set of skeleton bones,” etc. so that it will be easier to identify what is in the bag. If there are several books in one bag (such as teacher’s manuals, etc.), you should also label the books as “1 of 3” etc. The price should ONLY be on the front of the bag for these types of items! You are welcome to bundle things together in a plastic tote if that works better for you.
8. Book pick-up: You may pick up your books and a check for books sold after the sale on Friday at 5:00. You may allow someone else to pick up your books for you. OR, you may donate your leftover books (or any portion of them). These will be distributed FOR FREE to families who can use them.
9. We have maintained the same surcharge – 5% for sellers and 5% for buyers - for numerous years. This money goes to NETHEA to help pay for the church rental, tables, and other expenses.
Again, if you had labels last year, you will have the same code you had before. If you are reselling items you purchased at the book sale last year, make sure you pull the old sticker off and replace with your own sticker or the other person will get credit for that sale. If you have any concerns about your labels, if you would like to verify the UPC code you had last year in the system, etc., please do not hesitate to contact me.
Each year we literally serve hundreds of homeschool families through this used curriculum sale and thousands of homeschool books, curriculum and other educational products are sold on the weekend of the sale. We invite you to participate in this exceptional event that meets the needs of so many home educators in our area.
