Tag sale question...

I am not a tag sale pro...what do you price clothes for? I was figuring brand names (Eddie Bauer etc) about 5 bucks and the rest 2-3 dollars...is that fair? Any tag sale pros out there?

I am a tag sale pro, I've gone every Saturday for years now. I have had my share of them too... Clothes are hit or miss. If I have one, I don't do clothes anymore, they just don't go. I donate them now. If you are going to sell them, here are a few tips. *make sure they are clean, fresh smelling clothes without wrinkles and funny smells go better. *hang them up, it is easier to rifle through them when they are hung. *if the size tag is hard to see, put the size on the price tag. As with any yard sale, mark everything. It really urks me to no end when I go to a sale, nothing is marked, and they make the prices up on the spot, or say, give me a price? No, give me a price! I'll bargain from there. Always mark things a bit higher than what you want for it. Leave room for bargaining, I love doing this! And last, don't be surprised if you don't sell the clothes. Sometimes you may get someone in who knows what they are worth and realizes a bargain. But people are trying to get things for almost nothing at tag sales, so don't be disappointed. Good luck! Pam

Thanks for your tips! I appreciate it! I have spent the last week putting price tags on things so everything is marked! I hate that too. What I thought would be a pain has turned out to be fun...who woulda thought? Thanks again! Kristin

Kristin- I would consider selling name brand clothing on ebay. I sold 4 Lane Bryant shirts in one auction last week and got like $25 + shipping for them. Then you can go shopping for new duds for you!!
