| 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. |

| 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 ) 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.
