I don't want to overbid so people aren's even interedted in looking BUT I want to get my money's worth as well. Do you have a good "thory" I can use when pricing this stuff.

Try writing "make an offer" on some of the merchandise. That way you can barter for what you want without scaring ppl off.

Depending on how new they are, how popular they are, and how expensive they are, I would say around half price to more if they're popular. Example: a t-shirt that you bought a few months ago, never wore, and it went out of style, cost you $20: anywhere from $5 to $10. A brand new shirt that is very in style, and you never wore, you could even sell for more than the original price. I think you should stick to a little below the original price though. If you still aren't sure, then just ask the buyer what they think is a fair price.

Its kind of hard to decide on the right price for anything. Just because you want to make money., but not anything like pennies. If you have clothes why not have plastic bags ready make a rule that they have to be able to be tied without clothes falling out and sell whatever they can fit for 5 dollars in the bag. Other things price them how you would want to see them at a garage sale. How much would you pay for the item if you saw it at a garage sale is what i am trying to say. Good luck

It doesnt really matter because people are going to haggle you down to a price they can live with anyway. Unless you are desperate to get rid of something dont low ball yourself right off. You never know what people are going to buy. Start off high so people dont haggle you down from a low price to begin with. Lower your prices throughout the day depending on how desperate you are to get rid of stuff. Last garage sale I had we lowered our prices throughout the day, until at the end of the day when we knew we were going to be bundling things off to Good Will or our local homeless shelter we started just giving books and clothes away.

A garage sale is really just you getting rid of crap you don't want for a little bit of money from people looking to buy crap they don't need to sell later at their garage sale. (Or sell on ebay) Point is, if you have high dollar items, put them on ebay or in the classified ads. Otherwise, just kinda wing it on the prices cause no one makes a living on garage sales anyways. Best formula to go with is (What you value the item at) - 50%. Then account for the old ladies wanting to haggle over 50 cents for a ceramic doll or something and you've got an idea.

That dependes on the price you bought it, the time you used it, and the conditiones of the "stuff". Choose an average price.

garage sales are mostly about haggling anyway. If you price something too high, the people will tell you by haggling it down.
