Question: How much should infant/toddler clothes cost at a yard sale?
I’m having my first yard sale soon and I’d like to group the clothes by size and just ask a flat price per item. If I charge $.25 a piece, I won’t make much. but a piece is too much. I think, sometimes, people charge a flat price for how ever much you can stuff into a lunch bag.
What do you think? What’s a reasonable price per item or bag?
I’ve got everything from infant sizes (including socks and hats) to 24mos.
Thanks!

I always make a $.25 table, and put odds and ends on it that aren’t in the best shape. For newer name brand outfits I usually put anywhere from -4 …..
Coats in good condition you can go up to-6 ..let people make offers.
It all depends on what shape the clothing is in …I will spend more on a nice, newer item ….good luck !

Condition of the items make a difference. And you are right, you aren’t necessarily making money, but unloading the unneeded items. Here in my area of Calif sales are from 10-.1.50 per item depending on the Brand and condition.
On the last day of the local Senior Center Bargain Corner, all that will fit into a plastic grocery bag, the regular size, not the huge ones goes for a couple of bucks. But they are just trying to get rid of the donated stock at that point, to avoid putting it away.
I would put outfits together with socks and hats, and put a price on the entire outfit….maybe 3-5 dollars per outfit…again depending on brand and condition. That makes it easier for buyers. If bagged in ziplocks….nice and clean…I’d pay 5.00 per outfit. That simplifies it for me. Jot down on the bag, clean, no stains, fabric softener yes or no, the brand and the size and price. Done. Much easier to put away if it doesn’t sell the first time around.

I sold mine at a dollar a piece for all my Baby Gap and Old Navy stuff. I made 0. bucks!
