Pricing

One of the most frequently asked questions that we get is how to price your items.  Here are some guidelines for pricing.  Keep in mind that you chose the price of your items.  You can follow these guidelines or disregard them if they are not applicable to your item. 

• Price to Sell:  Think of yourself as a shopper - if you saw your item and look at the price, what price would make you exclaim "What a great deal!"?  That is pricing to sell.

• Research your item.  How much is it brand new?  How much are similar items selling for on Ebay or Criagslist?  All of this information can help you determine what price to set for your item.

• Describe your item well:  Is your item unique?  Wish you had more space to describe your item?  We encourage our consignors to include as much relevant information as possible on their items.

  • Example: If you are selling a custom made nursery set you can include the details on a separate sheet of paper and attach the paper to the item in addition to the tag.  The more information you can convey to the shopper the better.

• Group Items Together: Items in sets sell better than single items.  This applies mostly to clothing but it can be applicable to other items as well.

  • Example: Two onesies are more likely to sell as a set for $3 than separately for $2 each

• 1/2 Off: The last day of our sale is 1/2 off day.  You have the option of discounting your tiems when you enter them into our system.  We strongly recommend that you opt to discount your items, especially if you are planning on donating them at the end of the sale.  On 1/2 off day discounted items fly off the shelf!
