what is the best way to price your things at a yard sale?

I think most people like garage/yard sales so much because they feel like they can bargain with you about price. People like to haggle and feel like they got a good deal. \n\nI think not putting a price on the items will leave you to have more options. The people will then have to speak to you about the item instead of just browseing quickly and thinking "oh thats too high" and heading back to the car without a word. Engaging them in conversation is a good sales technique. You can ask them what they were wanting to pay. You might be surprised that they will pay more than you would have priced it.\n\nIts hard to know what people will pay and different classes of people will pay different amonts. By not putting prices out and deciding at the moment you give yourself more freedom and possibly more buyers.

Advertise in your local newspaper.\nHave a yard sale.\nCall your local consignment stores and see what they'd charge to sell it for you.

There's no 'easy' way or everyone would be doing it. eBay IS the best option and you don't have to leave your house to sell items. You can have shipping carriers pick up your boxes from the house. \n\nConsider a drop shipper.

Sell something. Local ads might work. Or, go to a pawn shop. You won't get near what the items are worth, but if you need the money that badly, it is a way to do it.

Hit all the yard sales you can early in the morning. Tell them you will be happy to pick up any items not sold . Give them your phone # , many people will give it away rather than haul it back in the house.

Don't know if this helps, but you can try liquidation.com.  They often have auctions of tools and other items in large lots.

You can use a savings or checking account if you want. Go to eBay and search for what you what you want or something close to what you want to sell to see how much they are asking for it then go from there.

Whatever the highest bidder will pay. There is no value to an item except what someone is willing to give you. If you need to know what people are paying go to www.ebay.com

Yes, there is a chart under the sale items tab that explains the fee for LISTING an item and the FINAL SALE PRICE fee.  you can set the price up so that those amounts are yours or the buyers.

There are a couple of ways to do this. First you can list the buy it now price for 1 lot. In your item description be very clear on what they are bidding on. If you have 10 lots put 10 total and in your description tell them what comes with a lot. The other way you can do it sell individually. I would not recommend this as if you are selling something for 1.00 ebay automatically charges no less that .35-.50 cents to list... then you have a end of auction fee... if you do them in lots and you sell them lets say for $5-$10 then you are only hit the one fee for each lot and not for each piece. So you still have the .35-.50 to list and your end of auction fee probably .30 . This is opposoed to selling them piece by piece and only making a few cents or sometimes you can even lose money!!!!

It depends on how many and how much of a thing and under what circumstances they are to be sold.  Will it be a once in awhile Garage Sale, or a Retail Store.  Unless selling your personal property becomes a business you can sell w/o a Business Permit  or a Resale tax I.D. number.  On the other hand, if you had Yard Sales every weekend for a year you would have a business, and the above mentioned documents would be needed.
