Garage Item Pricing

Knowing how to price your items is of importance. For example, there was a man in California who purchased Ansel Adams negatives for $45.00 only later to find out they were worth $220 million.

• Baby Clothes– Price depends entirely upon condition and brand. If it's from baby gap or Gymboree and has a tag on it still, 5.00 and up should be reasonable. If there's no tag or it's been worn then $3.00 or less is appealing. If there are stains or damaged clothing it can be thrown in a donation/free box which will entice other purchases.
• Clothing - Again, brand names and condition help the asking price here.
• Plain tee shirts -.25-50 cents.
• Brand name polos, lacoste or other trendy brands - $5.00
• Plain blue jeans - $1.00
• Brand name jeans - $3.00
• Fleeces, jackets, coats, and other winter gear - $4.00
• Dresses & skirts - $5.00
• Items with tags still attached - $10.00 or 70% of original retail price whichever is more reasonable
• Pocketbook and purses – Depending on brand name $10 - $70
• Ties - $1.00 or bulk deals such as 10 for $6.00
• Dress shoes - $5.00
• Tennis shoes - $3.00
• Flip flops and sandals – If never worn $3.00

Books, Novels, and Textbooks – The going rate for a single paperback novel and outdated textbook is typically $1.00. A hardcover book in good shape can go for $2.00 and, and depending one how many books you have, it is often a good idea to make bulk sales at a price break to help move them.

Cassette Tapes – Many people still drive cars that have cassette players and many elderly individuals listen to opera, musicals, and classical music on cassettes. Also jam bands such as the Grateful Dead and Phish have lots of cassettes floating around that are worth a pretty penny. So there still is a market for these. 10 cents apiece for a non collectible tape. If you have a collectible tape or motivational tape then $1.00-5.00 is an ample starting price point.

Compact Disks – CD's are another dying breed due to electronic and digital media players like the iPod. However, we all have a CD player in our vehicle. $1.00 a piece with a bulk deal of 10 for $5.00 is fair, just make sure to check for scratches as you wouldn't want to purchase a disc that doesn't play or skips.
