Jackie in NE Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I've never done this before, but we're having a garage sale on Saturday.... SATURDAY! I am woefully unprepared. I have tons of children's clothes, most of them in beautiful shape. For some reason, they were never really worn. Also cross country skis, a children's school table (really nice shape) with chairs. LOTS of other stuff that is in very good shape. I don't know. I want to get rid of this stuff, but I don't want to give it away. I am NOT a garage saler, so I really don't know how people price things. Can the hive help me out? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmama Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Where I live, children's clothing is cheap. Most people price everything at $.50 or $1 each. Kids shoes are usually the same. If something is a top brand in perfect condition, it may go for a little more, usually $2-5. Winter coats and boots are $3 - $10, again depending on condition and brand. I see people trying to sell clothing for more, but no one buys unless it's something really special. I've seen skis for $10-$50. School table and chair sets for $15-40. Generally, price things at 1/4 or less of the new price if you want them to sell. For super expensive items, maybe 1/2 if it's still in style and in like-new condition. ETA: All that said, keep in mind that people who garage sale are looking for bargains that beat store clearance sales and Goodwill prices. The more things that are less than $2, the more you'll sell.
