Frequently Asked Questions

What is the general rule for garage sale pricing?
A common rule is to price items at 10-30% of the original retail price for standard used goods. Like-new items can go up to 50%. Electronics and brand-name items hold more value, while books and clothing should be priced low to move.
How do I price items that were expensive when new?
High-value items like electronics and furniture should be researched online (eBay sold listings, Facebook Marketplace) to see current market value. Garage sale prices are typically 40-60% below online resale prices since buyers expect bargains.
