Money Making Monday! How to Price Yard Sale Items


Now is a great time of year to start cleaning out, if you haven't already and making yourself some extra cash :) It's yard sale season!! Here is a guideline list of recommended pricing for items that I borrowed from Woman's Day Magazine, Issue June 2010:

Books-.25-$2
CD's/DVD's-$1-$4
Records-.25-$2
Children's Clothing-$1-$3, Perfect condition dress clothes-$5-$7
Jeans-$2-$6
Tops and Sweaters-$2-$8
Shoes-$2-$15
Coats-$15
Suits and Dresses-$15-$20
Decorative Pillows-$2-$4
Kitchen Appliances-$5-$12
Dinnerware-$1 per item
Sporting Goods-$10-$20
Bikes-$15-$70
Tennis Rackets-$5-$20
Bed Frame-$30-$60
Sofa-$40-$100
Desk or Kitchen Table-$20-$30
Chairs-$3-$10
End Tables-$12-$20

Make your life easy by pricing most items $1, $2, $3, $5, or $10 and using round colored stickers (example: Red is $1, two reds is $2, yellow $3, purple $5, etc) Put up a few large posters explaining the system and include three very important words: "All Sales Final." Fir higher-priced items, write the prices on little stringed tags.
