Best guideline: Think about what you would be willing to pay for the item if you were in the buyers shoes and the one considering purchasing it. If you would pay a particular price, someone else probably would, too! Ask yourself: “What would I pay for this?”

We put together a pricing suggestions sheet that you might find helpful in getting started. Pricing Suggestions

Minimum price for items is $2.

 Clothing – Price at 75% Off Original Retail Price

Also, think about the original retail price — whether you paid original or not — and take 75 % off. This gives you a good place to start .

• For example, if an item originally cost $20, take 75% off and think of pricing the item in the general area of $4.00 to $5.00 if item is in excellent condition.
• If it is an item that is highly desirable like Gymboree, Janie and Jack, Gap, Abercrombie, etc., you can go up from the 75% off.
• If it is an item that is still in good shape, but from discount stores such as Target, Walmart, etc. you might need to stay around the minimum $2 price range and you might need to bundle items together.
• Keep in mind you are competing with many items of similar quality, and the best price will sell first. After determining what you think is a fair price, ask yourself, “Would I pay that for this item?” or “Would I pay more than this?” If you would pay more, add a dollar or maybe two to the price.
• The people who make the most money have higher quality items priced in the ranges of $4.00 – $8.00. A few high quality items will really add up quickly!

Toys & Equipment – 1/3 to 1/2 of Retail Price

When pricing toys and equipment, there are some items that are in high demand. For example large outdoor play equipment and double strollers. These can be priced a bit higher due to the demand.
