I’m taking part in my first yard sale since I was in Elementary school – we’ve always lived so far away to where people would get lost if they tried to find us. This one is at a public place. Here’s the irony – I’m selling things for money to rehash other things. Wild, huh? I need some tips for selling – prices based on condition, mostly. Got some? Interlachen, Florida |

I’d say you hone up on your bartering/haggling skills. Maybe leave a few items without prices and when people ask you how much, you can use a trick typically found in ‘exotic’ market places: “It’s [insert imaginary amount] but you look like a nice person, I’ll give it to you for [insert real amount].” And so on… San Francisco, CA |

Haha. I don’t consider myself to be bad with bartering, but I’m really not sure what reasonable prices for things are. I’ve been trying to understand this online (geez, what a nerd….) and there is no way in hell I am marking any clothing I put up for 50 cents. Interlachen, Florida |

Anayma’s dating a Persian and they’re notoriously adept at haggling the hell out of people, therefore she’s picked up a trick or two. BISCAYNE PARK, FL |

Kudos to you, sir! For saying “Persian” as opposed to other terms the fam has referred to him as… =)
And Rebecca, good thing my mom isn’t near you. She’s the type that offers 10 cents for something marked $7 at yard sales. Surprisingly, she ends up winning… Scary, I know… I guess one way to price things is how much you yourself would be willing to pay if someone else had your items for sale, maybe? San Francisco, CA |
