Yard sale prices.......

[maslex]

Having a yard sale at the end of May. I have many new pairs of sketchers sneakers. (a couple may have been worn 1-2 times). What would be a fair asking price for each pair?

 

[Gracedis1]

Do you want to get rid of them or make money? I would probably price them at $10 each pair and sell them for $5 each when people bargain. I just want to get rid of stuff.

$5-10 seems about right.

Looks like those are selling new now for about $36 a pair so $5-$10 seems about right.

Just want to wish you well with your sale, Maslex. Dad and I both wear Skechersbut live in CA. Stay safe and I do hope you are able to earn some money while helping someone out in need of sneakers (and other things) with a bargain, too.

My first thought was between $5-$10

I was thinking 5-10 also

Speaking of selling things, does anyone know if people still buy Wii game systems?

Yes but you probably won't get big bucks for it. Wii systems are not rare so there are a lot of them floating around for sale (online and in every retro game store I've been to). Just the console only can range from $30-60. With the cords, controllers and Wii Sports you can get maybe $80-100. Don't know about selling at those prices for a yard sale though. That's just what I've seen on ebay and Mercari.

Completely this. Price to sell is my motto. If it's in the yard sale then I just want it gone. I consider what I paid to be a sunk cost. IMO you can't even compare to resale stores. But, that's probably just me.

I have everything, I think. I may take it to a game store

If you take it to a Gamestop or a local retro game store, you'll get maybe $10-15. Not bad if you just want to get rid of it and not go through the hassle of selling it online.

Just had another thought on the shoes - my hometown has a consignment shop that sells clothes, shoes, etc. My mom and sis make quite a bit taking things there.

Same! I was thinking I'd price them at $5 and take $2. If I'm desperate enough to get rid of stuff to have a yard sale, I'm basically giving it away. I donate clothes to our church's clothing ministry and take the tax deduction. I give away whatever I can on a buy-nothing Facebook group I'm part of. Having a yard sale is my last resort.
