Another question on garage sale prices

[HookedOnDiz]

We're having a garage sale next week and need some pricing advice...

paperback novels?
hardback novels?
record albums?

Thanks!

We usually do all kids books for $.50 (unless its a special really nice book and then we put it in another spot with a price on it) and adult hardcover for $1 and softcover for $.75. We usually start out that price but since we usually have alot of books we end up going lower the next day

Records you will be lucky to get $1 for probably..

And here we get more for Albums than Books. Albums depending on the artist go for $3-5 and books $0.25. (Unless they are hardcover children collection books like Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes, or a collection of stories)

Unless you've got something special, records here go for 50 cents or less. I sometimes see them for $1, but they don't seem to be selling any. Even serious album collectors like myself only have so much room, so I seldom buy them any more. And it costs a fortune now to buy replacement needles for turntables.

I usually won't buy many childrens books for more than a quarter unless they are something special. Late in the day, I might ask to buy all that are left. You wouldn't believe the boxes of books I bought a couple of months ago for $3 !

Paperback novels I buy at $1 or less. Hardbacks I might go $2 - $3 if it's something current.

Sorry to say most of the yard sales are over for the year here now. I miss them on Saturday mornings.
