Above all - PRICE TO SELL! There's nothing more rewarding than cleaning out your closets AND making money at the same time!
-
Let things go for HALF-PRICE! It's better to get 50% and clean out your closets than to get items back that you don't need. And don't forget - if
you plan to donate your unsold items, at least let them go for half-price!
-
A good rule-of-thumb is to price your items at 25% - 30% of retail. This varies according to the brand of your items and the condition they are in.
Pricing at consignment sales is most similar to resale or consignment shops' pricing. Here are some examples of what prices we usually see at our sales:
-
CLOTHING: $1-4 for play shirts, shorts, etc. (remember - no stains or holes!), $3-7 for nicer shirts or shorts, $6-10 for nice 2-piece outfits,
$4-8 for jeans, $6-15 for nice dresses, $10-18 for multiple-piece sets. These are only examples for your more common brands, such as Carters, GAP, Old Navy, Osh Kosh,
Gymboree, etc. Boutique and European brands such as Strasburg, Oilily, Orient Expressed, Mis Tee V Us, Baby Lulu, etc. are priced a little higher.
- SHOES: Toddler shoes generally range from $4-6. Others generally range from $5-10. Slippers and flip-flops should be priced in the $2-3 range. Current, name-brand shoes in excellent condition may be priced higher in the $8-10 range. Generally, only boutique branded shoes could be priced over $10.
