Q&A for How to Price Yard Sale Items

Sold together, probably $100-150 dollars, but if they're completely new then $200 at the most. Sold separately, charge $100 for the oven and $40-60 for the printer. Be open to other offers.

Price it at about 1/3 or 1/4 the original price you paid for it. If it's in really bad shape, price it less than that.

If the costumes or clothes are new, expensive, or in good condition, you can price them a little bit higher. If the costumes are hand-made and a lot of effort went into their creation, you can also price them higher. Regular, worn clothing should be priced lower, especially if you have worn it many times.

Keep them somewhere between $70-$100, depending on what it is. If it's a stationary cycle, then price it for at least $95. Also take into consideration the condition, and if all the pieces are present.

Yes, it does. In most cases this is how yard sales work.

Weigh it, then see what the going rate is on Google. Price it a little higher, that way you have room to negotiate.

Try taking the orginal price and cutting it in half. No one wants to pay near retail for any item at a yard sale, no matter the condition.

It depends. If it's a blowup item, $10 should do it, if it's a tree go for $20-40. Basically think about how much YOU paid for it and how old it is and price accordingly.

Good prices would be about $1-$2 if they're wooden, $4-$6 if they're metal. It all depends on the condition of the frame and the glass.

This depends on the jewelry. If it is "costume" jewelry or gold/silver plated, then you can price it lower. If this is antique, valuable, or real gold/silver jewelry, you can price it higher. If it has genuine stones in it, then you can price it even higher. Refer to jewelry catalogues to get an idea for prices based on your piece.

Plywood and other dimensional lumber that is unused, has been kept inside, and is free of all water stains and warping, should be priced at 50% of a big box store's retail price. Used lumber should be priced substantially lower than new lumber (no more than 20% of the big box retail price), especially if it has any damage, such as numerous nail holes. Make sure you carefully remove all nails, screws, staples, brads, and other fasteners from used lumber before you put it out for sale.

Around $200 is probably good. But I cannot see the item, so it might be higher or lower, depending on how big it is, what you originally paid for it, etc.

I would search eBay for your air conditioner or similar models to yours and find the average price for a used one.

Wiis are not in very high demand anymore, so you could charge about $60 if it's in decent condition.

About $5-15 depending on the quality. If it's used, $3-8 dollars.

I would recommend doing some research online to find out what outdated iPads in good condition are currently selling for. You can also check with your cell phone carrier to find out what they'll pay for recycled iPads that are in good condition and base your price on that. I would imagine that, depending on the model, an iPad in "excellent" condition would sell for about $150.

If it's relatively new and in decent condition, you could sell it for half or 2/3 of what you paid for it. If it's older or worn out, I would sell it for less than half of what you paid.

It depends what kind it is, and what the condition of it is.

Depending on condition, $20 - $40 would be appropriate for a yard sale.

I go to auctions quite often and see good solid oak go for anywhere from $75 to $500 for a whole set of bedroom furniture. Furniture doesn't sell as high as it used to. If the furniture is a true antique in good condition, you could ask a bit more.

If they cost over $200 dollars each, try to sell them for about $150, so you have room to negotiate with customers.

It depends how valuable you think it is, and the age and condition of the luggage. If it is in good condition and not very old, you can sell it for anywhere from $20-$100 depending on the size. You should price the pieces individually and as a set, in case someone wants to buy the whole set. Price older, worn luggage under $25.

Around $50 could be reasonable, more if it's in very good condition. A good rule to remember is not to charge more than one third of the original price.

Are they rare or some kind of collector's item? If so, I'd recommend selling them on eBay where you might get a better price. If they're just ordinary plates, it really depends on how many there are, but about $1 plate is probably a good rubric.

Yes, I usually do that when I have a sale in the morning, then I sell packaged snacks and drinks for 50 cents each later in the day.

Around $1-$2 per piece is good, unless you have something special or you paid a lot for them.

Think about how long you've had it and what you paid for it when you bought it. Consider the condition, but a good range is $4-$7.

Each item is dependent on its market value otherwise the suggested prices you are providing don't even make a yard sale worth it. You might as well give the items away. Use common sense, although common sense isn't common!

Depending on the condition, $1-$10 dollars should do it. If it is in amazing condition, price it $20 at the most. If it is rare, do the same.

Price them between 1-10 dollars or sell multiple pieces of clothing at once for between 10 -25 dollars. If it is designer wear, price according to what a consignment store would and make sure there is a label attached clarifying it is designer.
