Garage Sale Experts... Help!!
 

I am getting ready for a garage sale and having a bit of a time PRICING!!
What do good conditions Jeans sell for now at a garage sale?
How about artificial christmas trees? (6 ft slim tree)
........ and 1 more item.... a gazelle exercise machine??

I want to price them reasonable, but not give them away!!
ANy suggestions?

Prices
 

I guess you can get 10 bucks for good jeand and 10 for the tree...The machine (uhhhmmm) it all depends!!!

Good Luck with the sale!!

We are having ours on saturday also:thumbup:

Remember Gsales are to clean out the house and maybe make some cash doing so the jeans if they are a Good brand that alot of people like and are not 10 years old I would say 3 to 5 bucks if not $1
Tress are hard to sell because you don't plan to set it up I would put $10 on it and take less if offered.
The exercise machine is it almost new?? They are hard to sell I would say $25 to $30.

here in my area, a good pair of jeans at a yaard sale runs 3-5 dollars a pair.

I went rummaging today for about 4hrs, they had a big block sale:thumbup: Jeans were 2-3 $ a pair, there was a 4 ft tree for 7.00, some house were way to expensive, asking 2.00 for a t-shirt. some were asking only a quarter, good luck with your sale:) oh and i bought some nice towls for 1.00:thumbup: thats a deal:D

TY!!! I used to go to yard & garage sales but it has ben so long since I have actually had a Saturday to do so!!! So I really wasn't sure about pricing!! I was thinking about 2-3 bucks for the jeans...... the christmas tree is already set up (it is a slim tree and we store it in my "Christmas/craft" room assembled, with lights, with a sheet over it). I think that I will put 10 on it and if it don't sell by noon... mark it down.
Still not sure about the gazelle.... I paid $$$$$$ for it and it is pretty much like new. I guess I will start with 30..... and then adjust it if I need to.

YES.... I agree, I want to have the garage sale to get RID of stuff!!!..... but it would be nice to recover a little bit of the $$$ from the things that I am selling..... whatever doesn't sell, I am giving to a local charity that GIVES the stuff to people who need it. First I thought about going to goodwill, but they just sell it also.... and I would rather it go to people who need it and can get it without paying.
( I read an article about someone who found a ROLEX watch in a coat pocket at a goodwill store :eek: :eek: :eek: ) Wouldn't that be interesting!!!
Thanks again!

When we have them, we do it to get rid of. Not to earn money. Most of our stuff is a dollar, 5 dollars at most. Our leather sectional sofa was 100$!

I put around $3 for a good pair of jeans. I just want to get rid of them. Everyone always says I mark my stuff to cheap, but I'm the only one without a car load to take home. This years yard sale I had a ton of baby clothes. I had like a quarter to a dollar on things and I had just a few things left. I sold the rest in our newspaper. Sometimes it pays to mark things slightly cheaper, it always seems like you make more that way in the long run. :)
