Pricing stuff for yard sales email this discussion to a friend?

We are getting stuff together to have a yard sale. I have clothes that I can't wear anymore and some of my son's clothes that he has outgrown and tons of more things. So I'm wondering, should I price each individual piece of clothing or just put them all in a box and put the price on the outside of the box. I'm going to sell my clothes for the same price for each thing. And the baby's clothes I could do two different boxes for. I just think it would be easier than searching through them on a table. So how should I do it?

Hi sweetgirl, I am not an expert on this, I am sure you will have younger Mothers can tell you more about the baby clothes, but I have had a few yard sales and went to many.
I'm always amazed at how people will be so willing to "root through boxes" to find stuff they need or want for a bargain price.
To me, it sounds like it's an OK and acceptable way of doing, so I wish you much success!:)

Thanks! I haven't had many yard sales but I don't work during the summer and I thought this might help bring in some extra money. I think I'm going to try the boxes.

If they're considerably old, you can probably sell them for around $1 - $2 each. The box is a good idea. Just make sure you don't put anything that you bought for a really high price in there--you should price those things and sell them individually, based on the price when you bought them.

Ok thanks. He's only a year old so his clothes that he has outgrown really aren't that old yet.

I would put the clothes all in one box and put the price on the outside of the box like your thinking. Yard sales are so much fun for the buyer but a lot of work for the seller. Good luck hope you make lots of money.

When my friend and I had yard sales, we would generally put up a sign saying "Clothing 25 cents unless otherwise marked." The 25 cent clothing was mostly just T-shirts and other stuff that we really just wanted to get out of our closets, and the "otherwise marked" was usually between 50 cents and maybe $5, depending on the item.

I also generally like shopping at yard sales that do their pricing similarly (though not necessarily as low as ours!:) ). It's much easier on the sellers and the buyers, I think.:)
