<h2>Garage Sale Pricing with Stickers is Easy!</h2>
<p>Pricing your garage sale items is a dreaded part of having a garage sale, so why not at least make the actual &#8220;Putting on of Prices&#8221; a little bit fun this year?</p>
<p>I am currently in the throes of getting ready for my annual family group sale. The younger kids (4 &amp; 6) and I have been sorting and pricing tons of toys! They had way too many toys and numerous times throughout the year I would come out of their rooms with a box full of toys, tape up the box and set it in the garage sale corner in my basement to be dealt with later. Well, now it&#8217;s later:)<span id="more-191"></span></p>
<p>Each box of toys we open brings a long lost friend or item that my children have been desperately searching for, to deal with this situation we have a new box to set aside the things they truly love and want to keep. Then, at the end of the toy pricing expedition, they can choose the few that are most loved to keep!</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-196 alignleft" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="garage sale stickers" src="http://www.thehouseholdplanner.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/garagesalesticker3.jpg" alt="Kid's Garage Sale Pricing Stickers" /></p>
<p>This year, I decided to let them help with the pricing, put their own stickers on and they can keep the money from their sales. They already have plans for all the money they are going to make:)</p>
<h2>I have always used address labels printed out on the computer for my garage sale stickers, it is super easy and they work great!</h2>
<p>This year, we made fun garage sale pricing stickers for everyone, each person has a different style of sticker.  When you are having a group sale, it&#8217;s very helpful if each person has their own unique stickers, this makes it nice and easy when adding up the profits at the end of the sale.</p>
<p>I used the Avery Multi-Purpose Removable  Labels 6467 which are 80 labels to a sheet.</p>
<p>You can make whole sheets of the same price, like a whole sheet of $1.00 stickers or you can have multiple prices on a single sheet.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-197 alignleft" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Garage Sale Pricing Stickers" src="http://www.thehouseholdplanner.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/garagesalesticker2.jpg" alt="Kid's Garage Sale Pricing Stickers - Multiple prices per page" /></p>
<p>To make multiple prices, just print a specific number of labels per price.  so for my son&#8217;s stickers I printed 20 blank-no price labels, then put it back into the printer to print 20 $2.00&#8217;s (don&#8217;t forget to start on label #21) and then 40 $1.00 labels.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pricing items for a garage sale or a yard sale is one of the biggest headaches when preparing for your sale. It&#8217;s always difficult to know what price tag to put on your treasures.</p>
<h2>Here are a few garage sale pricing tips for pricing children&#8217;s clothing.</h2>
<p>First of all, if you have kids, you know that not all clothing is created equal! You are not going to want to sell that cute dress from Wal-Mart for the same price as the gorgeous dress you bought from Gymboree last Easter. You have to take into consideration the brand, age and condition when you are pricing and in order to get a little return on your investments!<span id="more-53"></span></p>
<h2>Consider the Brand</h2>
<p>Popular selling brands are Gap, Gymboree, Limited Too, Children&#8217;s Place, Janie &amp; Jack, Hanna Andersson and other Boutique brands. You can put a higher price tag on these brands, especially if they are in great condition! People are usually willing to pay a little extra for these items, because they know what they sell for retail.</p>
<h2>Consider the Age</h2>
<p>The age of the clothing is also a factor to consider. The majority of clothing from 10 years ago will be considered outdated and not in style, this will drop your price a little.<br />
There are some exceptions to very popular name brands that are in excellent condition, like dresses, outfits or coats.</p>
<h2>Consider the Condition</h2>
<p>This is the most important consideration in pricing anything for a garage sale&#8230;the condition! So, even if you have a very popular last season, Gap outfit in a very popular girls size 6, if it has stains or tears, it is not going to be worth much. Again, your customers will be willing to spend a little extra on something that is in excellent condition because they know it will last. I believe it is worth that extra effort to keep your kid&#8217;s name brand clothing in great shape!</p>
<h2>Price suggestions for children&#8217;s clothing</h2>
<p>These are prices that I see at sales in my area and prices that I use myself.<br />
These are guidelines; you may need to adjust them for your area. If you are uncertain about a price, just  use your best judgment and ask yourself &#8220;What would I pay for this?&#8221;</p>
<p>Below are 3 different prices, the first is a <strong>low price</strong>, then an <strong>average</strong> and finally a<strong> high price</strong>. A no-name brand in ok condition would be at the low end and a popular name brand in excellent condition would be at the high end. Falling into the average slot would be a decent name brand (Carter&#8217;s, Oshkosh) in good condition.</p>
<p>Dresses $1.00 $3.50 $6.00<br />
T-Shirts $0.50 $1.00 $2.00<br />
Dress Shirts $1.00 $2.50 $4.00<br />
Sweaters $1.00 $2.50 $4.00<br />
Jeans $1.00 $3.00 $5.00<br />
Pants $0.50 $2.00 $3.00<br />
Outfits $1.00 $4.50 $8.00<br />
Pajamas $0.50 $2.00 $3.00<br />
Swimsuits $0.50 $2.00 $4.00<br />
Socks $0.10 $.25 $.50<br />
Shoes $0.50 $2.50 $4.00<br />
Boots $1.00 $4.50 $8.00<br />
Light Jackets $1.00 $3.00 $5.00<br />
Winter Coats $3.00 $9.00 $15.00<br />
Snowsuits/Sets $5.00 $17.00 $30.00</p>
<h3>Here are a few more ideas to use while preparing your children&#8217;s clothing for the garage or yard sale:</h3>
<p>- Start early (begin pricing your items 3-4 weeks before the sale)<br />
- Make sure clothing is laundered and clean<br />
- Write the size on the price tag<br />
- Hang up dresses, outfits and coats as you price them<br />
- Make outfits rather than selling pieces separately<br />
- Use safety pins to keep outfits, 2 piece swimsuits, or pajama sets together<br />
- Use Ziploc bags for sets of socks, tights or hair accessories</p>
<p>Your customers will appreciate the effort you put into organizing and attractively presenting your items and providing them with a relaxed and positive shopping experience! They will, in return, want to shop a little longer and spend a little more!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Pricing Your Garage Sale Items</h2>
<p>I tend to price on the slightly higher side on the items I know are hot sellers, like kids name brand clothes for example. I don&#8217;t want to give these items away and I need to make my sale efforts worth my while! If your items are in great condition, name brand and not outdated, you can ask a little more and get it! Would you pay $5 for a pair of stylish Abercrombie jeans? I would because I know what they cost retail or even on eBay.</p>
<p>I find it very irritating when I am at a sale and some things are marked and some are not, I honestly don&#8217;t want to go searching for the sale person to ask &#8220;How much is this Shirt?&#8221; So, usually, if it&#8217;s not marked, I put it back.<span id="more-17"></span></p>
<h2><strong>Stickers</strong></h2>
<ul type="disc">
<li><strong>I use stickers for pricing and I put a sticker on everything!</strong> Some people like to use a basic price chart, like $1 for all shirts or $2 for all jeans (unless marked otherwise) and so on, but personally I would rather price items individually because we all know that not all of the clothing you are selling is created equal! You may put $1 on your daughter&#8217;s Faded Glory Jeans from Wal-Mart, but you are not selling that Gap pair (that you paid $30+ for) for $1! The basic price chart would also not work well if you are having a multi-family sale because you will want to keep track of individual sales.</li>
<li><strong>Keep your prices at even amounts</strong> like.50, .75, $1 and not .95 cents. Stay away from .10 and .20, I figure my time in preparing is worth more than that! If you do have items that you believe are only worth .10, try bundling them with other like items, then you can give it a higher price.</li>
<li><strong>Use pre-printed $ stickers</strong> &#8211; I have been using the same sticker method for years, I use address labels (30 to a sheet), print them on the computer and then cut them into strips. I can put 3 prices and my initials on one label, so I print a whole sheet of $1 and I have 90 stickers. I stick with this method because there are always 3 or 4 of us doing a sale and we all want our stickers to be different from each others &#8211; much easier to spot when adding up the green!</li>
<li>You can also use the smaller address labels (80 to a sheet I think) and print up sheets on the computer. You&#8217;ll want to print whole sheets of  prices, $.50, $1.00, $2.00, $3.00, $4.00, $5.00, when you get past here you can print a few rows of prices at a time. Also, be sure to print some blanks with just your initials so you can fill in prices for some custom items.</li>
<li>They now have <strong>easy peel-off stickers</strong> that work great for books and movies and glass. I love these! And stickers with pre-printed prices!</li>
<li>You can always resort to doing your stickers by hand too! Some folks use <strong>masking tape</strong> and just tear off pieces as they go. Just make sure your price is clear and your initials are on your stickers it you have other sellers.</li>
<li>If you are having a sale by yourself, you could use <strong>colored stickers </strong>and say all yellow stickers are $1; this would not work well with other sellers though.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>State the Size</strong></h2>
<p>Another valuable little extra is to right the size on the sticker. I try to do this with the kids clothes and all jeans for sure.  I always appreciate seeing the size on the sticker when I am at a sale, especially when I have my arms full; it saves me the hassle of trying to find the size tag inside! This will also save you some time when you set up your clothing according to size.</p>
<h2><strong>Garage Sale Pricing Box</strong></h2>
<p>I keep a pricing box in my Garage Sale Work Area! It is a shoe box with an attached lid that flips open. It is portable, of course, so I can take it elsewhere if I plan to price items elsewhere. Everything I need for pricing is in there and I don&#8217;t have to go running around looking for the scotch tape or scissors!</p>
<h3>Here&#8217;s what I keep in my Pricing Box:</h3>
<p>price stickers, sharpie markers, pens, safety pins, scotch tape, masking tape, scissors and paper</p>
<p>You can use whatever works for you, those small Tupperware bins with lids would also work great.</p>

<p>Good luck pricing your garage sale items; it is a lot of work, but if you spend the time here, you will see higher profits!</p>
