Really, and the comments too.<BR/><BR/>I had one yard sale, garage sale, heck flea market, tag sale even, and did pretty well, but I found I'd rather price everything....almost everything, so that people wouldn't keep asking, and then see their reaction when it was too much. You can always "Mahk em down", so don't go too low on the furniture stuff, and people will HAGGLE. If it is not too late, maybe try bundling the clothes, like 10 onesies for $5, or a shirt and overalls for $5.<BR/><BR/> Good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15555813.post-1160744112863773442006-10-13T07:55:00.000-05:002006-10-13T07:55:00.000-05:00garage sale?

Oh, and you will usually make more $ selling your crap on Ebay than a garage sale. But it's tiem consuming.

Someone might buy a used onsie for 25 cents, but it counts for a couple dollars if you donate it. <BR/><BR/>That said, people at garage sales want everything cheap, cheap, cheap, unfortunately.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15555813.post-1160694290219277662006-10-12T18:04:00.000-05:002006-10-12T18:04:00.000-05:00You are cracking me up!

You KNOW they will.<BR/>Go cheap on the clothes, or they won't sell. The other stuff I'd say go with Alicia's figures but be willing to lower it if someone seems interested.<BR/>By the end of the day you'll just want everyone to take the stuff off of your hands anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15555813.post-1160679926525241882006-10-12T14:05:00.000-05:002006-10-12T14:05:00.000-05:00Sorry, I have no idea on the prices.

Ask Estea!<BR/><BR/>I know at the thrift store, I'll pay $2-$3 for baby clothes, like a sweater or a pair of overalls.<BR/><BR/>I think a price card is a good idea. Then you don't have to mark each piece and it will be easy to mark stuff down if no one buys.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15555813.post-1160677453655005362006-10-12T13:24:00.000-05:002006-10-12T13:24:00.000-05:00Ugh!

I priced really good quality, barely used baby clothes between $1 and $2... none of it sold, everyone wanted it basically for free.<BR/><BR/>I think the most you can sell something is about 1/3 of its original cost, and most people won't spend that much. I held my ground and eventually sold the packnplay, carseat, crib and mattress for the set price.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15555813.post-1160677128031273622006-10-12T13:18:00.000-05:002006-10-12T13:18:00.000-05:00Uh, uh, I'm just guessing here... $20 on the comfo...Uh, uh, I'm just guessing here... $20 on the comforter? $40 on the chair? The clothes prices sound good. Uh, $5 on the bumper? Email Estea, she just made a killing at her impromptu yard sale! <BR/><BR/>I have a "for sale by owner" sign you could cover with paper.

Why is it that men just don't undertand the importance of pictures? I thought THEY were the ones that were "visual" - thus the justification for porn.<BR/><BR/>And as for pricing - beats the hell out of me. This is (partly) why I haven't had my own garage sale. I do know my mom bought Eliot a windbreaker last week at a garage sale for a quarter. She talked them down from 50 cents. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15555813.post-1160668143156313592006-10-12T10:49:00.000-05:002006-10-12T10:49:00.000-05:00Obviously he doesn't understand the gravity of the...Obviously he doesn't understand the gravity of the situation.
