Secrets to a Successful Yard Sale

Pricing

Mark everything with a clearly written price on a sticker or piece of masking tape. Nobody wants to ask or answer, “How much do you want for this?” a hundred times.

When pricing items, know in your head the lowest price you would take, and then mark it up a little bit more. Remember, you will not get nearly what you paid for an item (plan to get more like 10% to 50%), so base prices on smart decisions -- not sentimental value.
