pricing
PRICING - You set the price! Price to sell - BE AGRESSIVE, keeping in mind the quality, name brand and condition of your items. We suggest starting at 1/4 for clothing to up to 1/2 off the original price for other items.
Consider how much you might pay for the item. We also suggest that you let your clothing items be included in the half price sale. Mark the starting price up if it is something that you are sentimental about, but of course, it is your decision if it is half price or not. Price your items in $1.00 or .50 cent increments.

$2.00 Rule - if your single, hanging clothing item can't bring $2.00 on its own, please pair it with something that will bring it to this amount. Books are the only exception. You may sell a single book or a group of books for $1.00.
Here's a typical price breakdown of items. Please keep in mind that the lower range is for infant items/less expensive brands and the higher range is for larger sizes (up to 16)/name brands. This is just a guide...there are exceptions outside these ranges.
