What's a PDQ download?
Get your Products Pretty Darn Quick (PDQ), no shipping costs, right in your computer to read or print out! Our downloads are in PDF format.
If you don't have Adobe Acrobat Reader, get it here free. (Quick, easy, and useful.) PDF files reside in your computer, where you can
read it on screen and/or print it out for hands-on reading in your
favorite armchair.
PDQs are personally e-mailed to you as a file attachment. This is NOT automated, so you will NOT get it instantaneously. You will get it
PDQ; Pretty Darn Quick, directly from Kate's fingertips to yours, usually within less than 12 hours. Please note: Your PDQs are sent only to the e-mail you use on PayPal, so monitor that e-mail address for your order. PDQs cannot be resent to a second address.
Once you have your PDQs, read them on screen or click the little printer icon on Adobe to print
them out.
Does the Manual have all the other Products in it?
No,
they are all separate sources of information. Think of the Manual as Resale 101, the basics.
For “advanced
study” in specific areas, make your choices from the many Products designed to suit resalers of every type, size, and
strength. The only Product that is a repeat of other Products
is our Camera-Ready Consignment Agreement Layout, which is designed for the
shop that feels the Manual is beyond their business investment budget. Once they see how
helpful this Product is, they invariably buy the Manual!
How to order: Paypal and other options
Use the PayPal buttons throughout our site
for the fastest and safest way to purchase our Products or your
HowToConsign.com Sponsorship. You DO NOT need a "PayPal
account" at any point to order on TGtbT.com. Please note: If you use an e-check with Pay Pal, your order will be delayed by Pay Pal for days until your check clears. That's their policy, not mine.
Why PayPal? I wanted a payment service that both you and I could feel comfortable with and trust.
Making a purchase with the PayPal Shopping Cart is safer and more secure for you since you never
give me your credit card number.
Signing up for a PayPal account is totally optional. Signing up really only means that PayPal saves your information for future purchases.
If you don’t like that idea, just take the “use credit card”
choice and PayPal simply becomes TGtbT's credit card service provider for
your transaction, like you might use Xcharge or Cynergy in your shop.
How Does the Shopping Cart Work?
While you’re shopping on our site, you will be using a safe and secure PayPal page as your Shopping Cart. The Shopping Cart allows you to purchase multiple items at the same time without having to enter your personal information over and over. When you click on the "Add to Cart" button next to the item, you will see your selections on a secure page hosted by PayPal.
You can delete any item at any time, so go ahead and create a
"wish list" by clicking on things you think you want. Once on the Shopping Cart page, click “continue shopping” to go back to my site. You can review your shopping cart by clicking another "Add to Cart" button to purchase another item, or by clicking on any of the "View Cart" buttons on our shopping page. When you’re ready to check out, review what you’ve ordered in your Shopping Cart, then click “check out.”
It’s important to verify, if you are a PayPal member, that the email and physical address you have on file with them is
current and correct. It’s easy to forget to update these. Your order can only be sent to your address of record, so check that it’s right!
If you're still a bit nervous shopping online, check out the URL of the Shopping Cart page and you'll see that it's a secure (beginning with https) PayPal URL window.
Don't
have/ don't want a PayPal account? You can still order online
using just your credit card. PayPal
simply becomes TGtbT's credit card service provider for your transaction,
like you might use Xcharge or Cynergy in your shop.
Other options:
By FAX with
your credit card: 941-922-5902. Please note, we ONLY accept MC
and VISA. (If you want to use another credit card, use PayPal.)
Prepare and double-check the
order form. Make sure
your FAX is
clear and legible.
Double-check info to avoid delays. If
you require confirmation, send an
email. You must manually add the correct shipping costs for
hard-copy items, and, if applicable, the surcharge for non-US
orders.
By phone. Leave a voice
message at 941-924-4142. Use the order form
to assure you have all
the info needed. Please spell
what needs to be spelt. If you require confirmation, ask via e-mail.
Hint: Recite numbers slowly enough to be written down by a real live
person. Then repeat to be sure your
order can be filled ASAP.
By a combo of
methods. RECOMMENDED. E-mail your order and address and all the info except your credit card.
That way, you don't have to spell everything out. Then leave a voice message at 941-924-4142 with
credit card info acct #, expir. date
and security code,
telling me which e-mail order you are! This method is not quite as quick
as using PayPal, but almost.
Please
note: If you are paying me directly instead of through PayPal, I
only
accept Mastercard and Visa. If you
need to use another card, use PayPal, which accepts
all cards.
Yes, we accept money orders and checks,
although this is the slowest ordering option. See the Order
Form for information.

We use the information you provide when placing an order only to complete that order. We do not share this information with outside parties except to
complete that order. We use return email addresses to answer the email we receive. Such addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside parties. You can register to receive our free e-newsletter, USED ain't seen nothin' yet, which has, in every issue, an opportunity to opt-out.
To prevent unauthorized access, we safeguard information we collect online. We never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13. Our web site contains no lead and is composed of 100% post-consumer gently-used, recycled electrons.

First, what do I order?
Not sure what to choose for your shop? Here’s my best suggestions.
FIRST:
You must have the Manual. Absolute must whether you’re just beginning to think about it or you’ve been in business for years.
(I'm already in business. Will the manual be worth
it?)
Then, you might broaden your knowledge: If you are in the planning stages add 499 Names to your order (this
is good not only for the name of your shop, but tag lines, department names,
even advertising headlines) and Windows that Sell plus Words that
Sell.

Specialty resalers: Childrenswear and equipment, designer-focus, hard-goods resellers, and
not-for-profit thrift shops all have useful Products available in our Shop
as well.
"I
am already in business, and
doing well. What would the manual offer me?"
Auntie
Kate replies: Many
shopkeepers benefit from seeing alternate ways of doing things. While the
systems you already have in place may work well enough, it is always an
eye-opener to examine other viewpoints. There may be whole areas that
you haven't considered, or you may be doing things which, while they
worked years ago, don't maximize today's investment in time, effort, and money.
We can
always be more successful, right?
"I
don't want to sell clothes, but hard goods/ furniture/ sporting goods/ whatever.
So, should I buy the manual?"
Auntie
Kate replies: 99% of the information in the Manual will apply to
ANY merchandise you sell. There will be sections where you
will have to mentally substitute (for example, our suggested floor
plan shows where to put tops, coats, etc., and you might have to think
about dining room sets or ski poles or crystal vases) to suit the
business you have in mind, but most everything else is the same, just
as your potential customers are.
"I'm
confused! There are so many Products for the Professional Resaler.
Is all that info in the manual or are your
other Products simply repeats of the same info?"
Auntie
Kate replies: The manual is the Big Picture. All our other
Products get into more and more detail and are designed to take you
and/or your staff to
the next level of knowledge.
