GARAGE SALE ARTICLES

Garage Sale Pricing

This guide will help price items for a garage sale or yard sale. Most items should be priced 10%-30% of the original price. Of course, when pricing an item, you should take into account its condition, popularity and any other important factors. This is just a general guide to help approximate garage sale pricing.

Garage sale tip: if you have any expensive items (over $100), it is always a good idea to put the price slightly higher than what you expect someone to buy it for; that way, if you face a bargain, you will most likely stay satisfied after the item is sold. Do not push the price too high for the customer might get scared away.
