How To Price Your Items
Bargains! That’s what garage sales are supposed to be all about. Some garage sale hosts think that they are the local antique store and price their items accordingly. This is a huge mistake. Antique stores have items sitting on shelves for months and years sometimes before they are sold!
You are in business for one weekend! (Well, unless you plan on having a series of sales.) Price your items to sell the very first day of your sale! People can’t resist bargains. Now everyone is a winner!
Here is a simple rule. If things aren’t selling, maybe your prices are too high. The solution…lower your prices! Remember this- "something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it!"
If you are uncomfortable arriving at fair prices for your garage sale, simply visit other sales in your area to get an idea what others are charging. You may wish to look the item up on Ebay for a price check. Better yet, learn how to be a master of Ebay and sell items there!
If you are a serious garage sale seller or flea market seller, consider buying items at wholesale. The profit margins can be amazing when you buy at wholesale.
TIP: Be flexible. If things are not selling, consider lowering your prices. As your sale continues, lower your prices even more, especially if you hope to clear the tables.
TIP: If you have some unusual item and don’t know how to price it, you can place a sign on it saying, "Make an Offer." You may end up getting much more than you expected. You can politely refuse offers which are too low. It's a good idea to be able to recognize antigues that are valuable before you sell them for a dollar!
TIP: Price some items a littler higher so you are prepared to accept a lower offer.
TIP: If you have never tried "dickering," you should go to another sale and try it. You will find that making a lower offer does not offend the sellers and often results in getting a lower price. |
