Pajama Mama Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I priced the stuff yesterday and put it out this morning. Now I must stay inside. I am a creampuff when it comes to selling. I want to give everything away for nothing. Dh and kids are running the sale. We have tons of nice stuff. But I just want to say "Here, just take it." Anyone else a horrible yard sale seller or am I the only wimp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I just had a vision of you going shopping while the family does the garage sale. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milovany Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 IF I do a yard sale I do a "Dollar Sale" -- everything's a dollar. I don't want too much of a hassle, but do want to move the stuff and make a little money. There are SOME things that are more than a dollar, but most things are just a buck.

LMA Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Well, please update us with your family's sales report when you get a chance. Louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardening momma Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 A year or so ago I was selling something for "$20 or best offer" and then wouldn't take the (only) offer I got--$10. No cream puff here. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in Neverland Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I am exactly the same way. Now I don't even bother with them and just give the stuff away to start with. Saves me the trouble of setting up the sale! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moni Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 (edited) am I the only wimp? Wimp? That's a wimp? My goal is not to put it back into the garage :lol: The buyers are the wimps here ;) I'd have given it away just to keep in from going back into the garage .........Perspective...... :seeya: Edited September 19, 2009 by Moni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pajama Mama Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 We made about $300 today. We will continue tomorrow and then put everything else in the van and take it to Goodwill. I have 3 kids-the oldest is 12. I had NEVER gotten rid of any of their Halloween costumes. So we had about 2 dozen of them to sell. I was surprised that I only kept one. I kept the baby costume from ds10. That was the Halloween before we knew that he had any medical problems. He was just my happy baby then:crying: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to give the stuff away. I am a terrible salesperson. That's why we never have yard sales at our house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 We had the opposite problem. Ds12 wanted to price all of his stuff unbelievably high prices - like $35 for his toy dump truck! I finally sold some of his stuff by sneaking behind his back and making deals with some of the customers. . . He forgave me when he realized that the alternative was giving them away!
