I would price it higher than you would sell it for. That also works for when people seem to be internally debating... so you can offer to drop the price to get them to take it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-garage-sale-pricing#post-839088 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 09:08:08 +0000 loveisstrange 839088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TemperanceBrennan: Yep, people are going to haggle regardless, so always price a little higher than you're willing to take. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-garage-sale-pricing#post-839085 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 09:07:39 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 839085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama and @zippylef: Thanks!<br /> I hate negotiating. I wish I could just price them cheap and then people would just pay what I ask instead of pricing it a bit higher assuming people will haggle. Regardless of the price, people ALWAYS ask to pay less. It feels really silly when we are haggling over pennies. But people always want a deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-garage-sale-pricing#post-839083 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 09:07:23 +0000 loveisstrange 839083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree to price the whole set as a group and then let people talk you into separating. I'd probably price it at $300-400 but let people talk you down. </p> <p>As for the sweaters, I would say price them a max of $5 each. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-garage-sale-pricing#post-839042 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 09:00:39 +0000 doodlepoodle 839042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TemperanceBrennan: I think w/the furniture you can price them as a group and then have them divided out if someone wanted them individually. I'd say $100-200 for the furniture if its in good shape...? The sweaters maybe $5 each? Just be prepared to negotiate ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-garage-sale-pricing#post-838943 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 08:35:36 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 838943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our neighborhood is having a garage sale and we've decided to put a few things out. I'm not exactly sure how to price the items so I was looking for some advice. </p> <p>The biggest thing we want to get rid of is our old living room set. It includes a couch, love seat, oversize chair and ottoman. We got it as a hand-me-down from family. It is generally in good shape. I have no idea how much to ask. Do I price each item individually or as a set?</p> <p>I also have several nice sweaters that I've hardly ever worn. How much do I price them at? They are better quality than most of the clothes we are putting out which we were going to price around $1 and be happy if we get $0.25. </p> <p>Thanks for any help! </p>
