This is my first time having a yard sale so I'm trying to get rid of most of the clothes but I don't want to sell myself short either. Most of the clothes are name brand. I figured I could sell everything for abt a 1 or 2 dollars...I need help!!

unfortunately, clothes can be a big seller, but not a big source of money, if you price the shirts, worn items at .50c and pants, jumpers, nice clothes for $1.00 you should do very well at getting rid of most of your clothes. Also, what ever doesn't sell, you can take to goodwill or salvation army and get a receipt for a tax deductible donation, also help many people. I'm the flea market, yard sale queen, I've had so many I can't keep track. Good luck, also price everything, and put on index cards, etc. prices for bulk items like your clothes, otherwise you won't do nearly as well. Make sure everything is clean, just wipe off with damp rag, don't spend alot of time on that. and remember people love to haggle, so if somebody offers you a price that's lower than u asked, unless it's something you will keep otherwise accept it. Talk to people, as soon as they get there ask them how they are, be friendly, talkative, some people don't like this, but you will recognize them as soon as the reply to good morning. If you haven't already priced items, on some items price about .50c or $1.00 above what you want to get so when people ask if you'll take....? you say yes and you get what you wanted to begin with. Keep prices low, and people who leave will tell there friends to stop by and see you. good luck and happy selling.

It will depend on your location and what amounts others in your area are getting for children's clothes. My rule of thumb has always been to sell everything at one half off during the last hour or two of the sale. I don't want to have to pack it all back up!
You can start at $1 - 2 and go down if things aren't moving very well. And if you really want to get rid of it, start selling things in lots - 5 for $3 or 2 for $1, just whatever.
I even went to a sale once where they handed you a plastic bag from the grocery store and you just paid a flat amount (say $5) per sack. This is a great way to get rid of quantities of stuff and still make money.
Good luck with the sale!

ok if ure not worry bout makin money, u can sell each one for 1-2 dollars but if ure like me, u would sell the warn clothes for $3 and the new or newer clothes $5. If u have like one-piece items i would go ahead and sell them for $1-2 depending how new the clothes are.

if you are trying to empty your house, then charge by the bag. take a bunch of grocery bag and say $5 for as much as you can cram into the bag.
i have found that clothes are usually tough to sell at yard sales.

Most garage sales/yard sale, sell clothing from .50 to maybe $1.50
