ANNUAL GARAGE SALE
It’s time to organize!! Do you find yourself wondering what you’re going to do with all that stuff you’ll never use? Maybe you’ve used it a couple times and you’re done with it. We have the solution for you. Sell it at our Scrapbook Garage Sale.
Call to sign up as a seller at the garage sale. You’ll be assigned a code to use on your price tags…that’s right, you price it at whatever you want. We will collect $5 registration fee (to offset advertising we are doing for the sale) when you sign up for your code. On the sale day, you don’t even have to be here to sell the item. We’ll have staff here to sell it for you. After the sale is complete, you will receive store credit for 90% of all the items you sold during the sale (10% will be kept for administration purposes). We will limit the number of sellers to ensure a smooth set-up and organized sale, so please sign up only if you’re sure and do so early to reserve your spot. If you have any items left over after the sale, you can pick them up afterward, or leave them for us to donate to a local organization (school, hospital, senior center, etc..) who can benefit from them. Here are the details:
Feb. 1st: Registration Opens You can call the store to reserve a seller spot but it is not reserved until you’ve paid the registration fee. Sellers will pay the $5 registration fee when signing up for their spot.

The fine print:
Paper Arts is not responsible for items lost or stolen during the sale, however, we do our best to deter theft. TO minimize loss, please make sure all of your items are packaged labeled well. We often see price tags fall off, and have to make judgment calls on whether or not to sell an item. We will not make adjustments after an item has sold. Please make sure yours are secure and items that go together are secured together (we recommend using a Sharpie/Slick Writer directly on a bag, a strong adhesive label, or put your price tag inside the package) and has no chance of falling off. Please avoid bringing individual papers and sticker sheets, or any other items not in a package, as they tend to get damaged during the sale, as well as extend the time at checkout. We ask that you group products together in sealed bags or containers, clearly labeled with the contents (if not visible), legible seller code and price. If you need to cancel your seller spot in the sale, you must do so at least one week in advance to receive store credit for your registration fee. Registration fee is not refundable if cancellation is made within a week of the sale.
Regular store shopping will not be allowed during this time.
As a courtesy to other shoppers, please do not bring in purses, or other items with personal belongings in them during the sale. You may bring an empty tote bag or box with which to shop, though.
