I get lots of messages from people asking,
"How should I price my items?"
"How should I price my items?"
Here are some tips!
- You set the prices of your own items.
- Appropriately priced items sell successfully. Overpriced merchandise does NOT sell well.
- Ask yourself what you would pay for the item.
- Items priced at approximately one-fourth of the original cost generally sell the best.
- Popular name brand items could possibly bring in one-third of the original price.
- Consider the age and condition of the item before pricing.
- If an item is exceptionally special or has sentimental value, consider pricing the item higher because you won’t be disappointed if it doesn’t sell.
Tips for Preparing Items to Sell
- Check the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission here to ensure that none of your items have been recalled.
- Check all expiration dates on car seats and formula you are planning to sell and be sure to have that information in the item's description.
- Wash all clothes you are planning to sell.
- Clean grass stains with color safe bleach.
- Sort clothes by gender and size and group together for photos.
- Clean all baby toys and equipment.
- Be HONEST! If parts are missing or something is damaged, say so.
