Pricing
•A
good rule of thumb is to price items at 1/3 of the new price if it is in good
condition, and at 1/4 or less of the new price if it is in fair condition. For
clothes, ask 1/4 of the new price if it is in good condition.
•Like
items can be grouped and sold using one tag.
For example, you could sell three same-size long-sleeve onesies as a single item.
•Price
your items so that they will sell quickly. Evaluate your
prices. The goal is to sell!
Wise
words
•A
clean item sells faster than a dirty one.
Presentation is important. Spending a little extra time getting
your items ready will mean more money for you.
•Make
sure the price is right. Given similar
items (three 5T pink floral sundresses), the one that is clean, hung nicely,
and priced at $2 instead of $5 is going to sell first.
•Sets
of books sell better than individual ones.
Place them in large Ziploc bags.
Price popular parenting books individually.
