How to price items in garage sale?
Last year I had a very successful yard sale. You are best off pricing things a bit higher than the price you want, because people will always ask you for a better price. Here are some things I did: With clothing, I had luck with pricing things in pairs, for example I priced women's jackets at $15 a piece, or two for $25. I did the same with women's tops; $7 each or 2 for $10. When you do that, they see that they are already getting a "deal". Most of them flew out the door. But they were nice tops, fairly new and in excellent condition. With things like household, small kitchen items, it helps to put them all together and have a set price, say coffee mugs for $1 each. I had a "handbag" table at a set price of $15 on all of them. People went crazy over them. As for your TV, it will help if you can keep it plugged in to show it's in good working condition. Put a big sign on it because people may walk by and not know it's for sale. Same with the computer monitor. As for prices, even if it's in great working condition, if it's not a flatscreen, you'll have to go low on price. Most people now want a flatscreen, so basically you're paying them to haul off your old "fossil" TV. You should have the wedding dress in a see-through plastic bag, and a place set up for women to try it on; most wedding dresses you can price between $100-$250, depending on the dress, how much embellishment it has, if it's excellent condition with no stains. Again, if people are interested they will bargain with you on those. It also might help for you to go to another yard sale, or two before you have your own, that way you can see what others are charging for what. Good luck!!
How do I price these items for a garage sale?
People at yard sales tend to want to pay no more than 25-50% of what something is worth - not what it cost new (even if it is in an unopened box). Sorry to put it that way, but most yard sales don't have items that are in very good shape. The shoppers want to pay as little as possible so that if something is wrong they won't feel bad. If you are moving over seas you should try to price things to sell and not try to "make money". Unfortunately, if most of your things are in like condition new you probably won't get what you should unless you can try 2 or 3 times. If you don't have 2 or 3 weekends to sell the things that you are not taking with you or storing then be prepared to start early (be set up by 7:30) and be prepaired to lower your prices between 10:00 and 11:00. Saturdays are alot stronger than Sunday (at least where I live), but you still could have some luck on Sunday if you live in a good area that is easy to get to and you put good signs (easy to read/eye catching) up in the right places (both sides of all the main roads to where your sale is going to be). Just in case you are not able to sell everything that you need to have a backup plan (a friend that would like to have somthing of yours, Goodwill, or something) Best of luck - with the sale and overseas :-)
Garage sale pricing?
I had my very first yard sale this year---we had everything including furniture. The trick is getting this message across to yourself---ARE YOU WILLING to part with these items even at drastically reduced prices just to clear your closet--or do you want to hold off and sell them for what YOU think they are worth, and perhaps end up stocking everything back inside your home. When I got that message, I went back and reduced everything. I also had brand new clothes w/tags and sold them for 2 bucks each. I had an old nintendo with over 24 games and controllers, I sold for 50 bucks, I sold most of my books including kids books, all in good condition for 1 buck each. By the end of the 2 day yard sale, my kids and I netted 230 bucks in total, got rid of most of the stuff, but we're looking to do another one pretty soon. The key is marking things way down. Realize most anything you can buy, you can find at the dollar store for a BUCK--so price it right.
Good advice here, and I will also emphasize pricing things low and focusing on making things leave instead of trying to maximize profit. Things are only worth what people are willing to pay and odds are that item will remain unsold if you don’t want to budge on price.When I run my sale I do it for the traditional Saturday, but I also run it on Sunday. You put a lot of work in setting it up and the extra day usually sells about 1/2 the Saturday sales without a lot of additional work. You can also copy the estate sales people and put a big sign up 50% off to draw people in. There is also a lot less competition on Sunday and people who might have been tied up on Saturday are out and about. Include the Sunday hours in all your advertising.Good luck with your sale!
“What are the most profitable items to find at a yard sale and resell them on Amazon and Ebay?”(1) Amazon. Except for certain items, such as rare or unusual books, I’d avoid reselling yard sale items on Amazon. Amazon is about selling new items and factory refurbished. The exception may be items you can honestly list as “like new”, but it had better be pristine or you risk negative feedback.Note further, Amazon is very strict about copyright and trademark infringement. Buying CD’s, DVD’s, and brand name clothes at yard sales (or flea markets) is high risk because you don’t know where the item came from, yet your Amazon selling account will take the hit. Listing an item as “used” does not protect your Amazon selling account from copyright and trademark infringement claims.(2) Ebay. Ebay is a great place to resell items found at yard sales. Just note, yard sale items tend to be unique and often in single item quantities, so expect to spend a lot more time photographing and writing listing.(3) Suggestions. I’ve had good luck with small knick knacks. These are small decorative collectables that fetch a good price and are easy to pack and ship via U.S. Priority Mail, which also gets you a free shipping box.My favorite method is to find a motivated seller, pull out my cash, then ask them “How much for the whole lot?” This will often get you ample resale inventory at a very low cost per item. This way your risk is low and you only need sell one or two items to break even on the whole lot.I also know of sellers that do well with old dolls, some even in pretty rough shape. They shop yard sales and auction houses and often buy a whole box of stuff just to get the one item they really want. Again, a detailed listing and lots of photographs is the best way to protect yourself and ensure a happy buyer.I hope this answers your question. Good luck in your online selling!
First, you have to factor in the price of the yarn and notions. If the person for whom you’re knitting wants to purchase their own yarn, I would strongly suggest you provide them with a list of types of fibers that would work well for the project, otherwise you’re going to get someone wanting you to knit them a dress out of Red Heart Super Saver.Second, you have to set a price for your time. There are two ways you can do this: by the hour or by the yard. If you’re charging by the hour, you should charge at LEAST minimum wage. If you’re charging by the yard, I suggest 10 cents per yard.For a simple cardigan, size XL, you’re going to use about 1500 yards of yarn. Inexpensive cotton/acrylic is going to run you at least $3/ball, and a ball is usually about 110 yards, so you’ll need 14 balls. Yarn cost is $42. Buttons will be $5. At 10 cents a yard, labor is going to be $150. Most people are going to balk when you tell them you’ll knit their sweater for $200, but I guarantee you they’d pay at least that much for a hand-knit sweater in an upscale department store.
Organization and pricing all of your items. Nobody likes going to a sale where you have to dig around for things, and I’ve found that the more organized and neat you have it set up, the more you will sell. Put everything out to where its easily seen. Also, one of my pet peeves is going to a sale where I have to ask the price of everything, so I begin days before tagging all of my items with prices. It takes time but it is worth every effort. If you are selling clothes and hanging them up, make sure all of your hangers hang the same exact direction so your customer doesn’t have to go back and forth to view your clothing, and I like to make sure that they are hung on the proper size and types of hangers so that they don’t fall off each time someone touches them. I also always try to put clothes in a nice shady spot because if it’s hot out, nobody wants to get a sunburn standing in direct heat and sunlight looking at them, thus you end up selling less of them. Tables, shelves and hanging racks are ideal for putting your sales items on, but if those things are limited to you, get creative when finding ways to display your wares. A clothesline or rope tied between two posts or two trees makes a good line for hanging up clothes as long as it’s tight enough. Also, unless you’d like to keep your things and have to pack them back up, I’d suggest pricing everything at a cheap or very reasonable price. Don’t let sentimental value and an exorbitant price tag make you lose out on selling something that’s been stuffed away in your closet for 3 years. And last but not least, running an ad in the paper is a good idea although whether you do this or not, make sure that you put out quite a few, easy to see and read, signs with your address, dates and times on them so that you’re easy to locate. It may sound like what I’m suggesting is too much hard work and too detail oriented, but I’m just telling you what has really worked for me over and over again for more than 25 years. Good luck!
Selling Knitted or Crochet Items at Yard Sale?
My sister bought me a croqueted dish rag thing at a yard sale. I think it was like $0.50 or $1. I'm not sure. If you happen to have a lot of them, you could sell them for a better price, because you wouldn't be trying to sell them for a huge profit, just to get them out of your hair so that you could keep making new ones. If you want to make them specifically for profit, try to see how much you spend on the yarns and stuff. Then, how much is your time and effort worth? Sometimes, people aren't willing to pay as much as it is really worth...especially if they are out bargain hunting at a yard sale. If you want to price them well, I would say have them set up separately from the yard sale and advertise them as handmade items. That way, you don't have to sell them at garage sale prices. Be sure to use really trendy materials for some of them so that people will be drawn to them and want that unique item (obviously not so unique that it's ugly.) Good luck
