Yard Sale Pricing?

erikbynum

I am having a yard sale
what should i price shirts, shorts, pants, socks, shoes, backpacks, books, movies, baby bathtub, umbrella stroller, games, toys, jackets, blankets, outfits, dresses, costumes???

Answer
One of the things that kills a yard sale is overpricing. No idea why people think they can sell & actually receive the same amount of money (or close to) what they bought the item for. That being said, here is what successful sales in my area (Southern CA) have sold their wares for:

Shirts, Shorts: 50¢
Pants: 50¢-$1.00
Socks: 10¢ /pair
Shoes (really depends on condition and the style) $1-$5
backpacks: $1-$3
books: 50¢ each
movies: VHS 50¢-$1 DVD: $1-$5
Baby bathtub: ? (I would suggest $1-$3 depending on condition)
Umbrella stroller: $3-$5
games: board games: $1-$3 video games: $5-$10 (depends on if the system is a newer one, old ones unless they are collectible go for way less)
toys: 25¢-$1
Jackets: $2-$3
blankets: $1-$3
outfits: $1-$5 depends on style & condition (out of style=much less $)
dresses: $1-$3
costumes: kids halloween: $1-$3 adult halloween: $3-$5

Hope this helps & good luck!

Present for baby AND DAD?

katwoman

My friend has had her 1st baby; a girl. Based on her at-work comments, Daddy seems a little immature. I want to spend about $40.00, and I would like to get a present that would help Daddy bond with baby.
I thought of a baby backpack. Any brand suggestions?
Any other ideas?
Thanks for your help.
