Having a yard sale

[Disneyfan1977]

Hello all
I am having my first yard sale on saturday. I have a lot of kids clothes/shoes and was wondering how you all would price them.

They are mostly all like gap kids, limited too, the children place, etc. most are in great condition.

Also, how would you price used DVD's?

sadly a lot cheaper then you would think! lol people expect things really really cheap at yard sales. For example I always buy my sons winter coat from llbean it runs me 80.00 dollars or so. This year he wore it maybe 15 times. It was like new! I tried to sell it for 5 dollars.... nope , people kept picking it up and saying " dollar ? "
I ended up donating it cuz I couldn't handle giving it up that cheap lol . \

Good Luck

I've never had good luck with clothing at a yard sale. When was daughter was wearing Limited Too, I did much better selling it on ebay or taking it to a local consignment shop. Some consignment shops will pay you up front for name brand clothing.

I guess it depends on what your goal is - to get rid of it or to make money off it....if you want to make money off it you're better off going to a consignment shop. At a garage sale regardless of the "brand" I'd put no more than $1 on any clothing....as far as the DVDs probably $1 as well maybe $2 if they are Disney

I've been garage saling a lot lately (NW IN area)

Kids clothes 50 cents to $1 for shirts/sweaters, $1 for jeans in good condition (50-75 for poorer condition), 50-3 for dresses depending on style, jackets 1-5 (sometimes 10 for really good condition!), shoes 1-3 depending on wear and style

DVDs 1-3 (chances they will try to bargain to 1) depending on popularity and quality of case.
