PRICING YOUR ITEMS
|
|
|
|
The most common question we receive is
-
|
|
“How do I price my stuff?”
|
|
|
|
Below is a guideline to
assist you.
|
|
|
|
When pricing your items, consider your item's age
and condition.
|
|
Look at each item as if you were thinking of
buying it for your child - what would you pay?
|
|
|
|
As a general rule, price items at about 1/4 to 1/3
of their original price.
|
|
Name brands or boutique brands such as Gymboree, Baby
Gap or Hanna Andersson
|
|
can be priced closer to 1/3 of their original price.
|
|
Clothing from Target or Wal-Mart should be priced on the
lower end.
|
|
|
|
An
exception to the 1/4 - 1/3 rule is indoor/outdoor toys -
|
|
plastic
kitchens, playhouses, climbers, etc (Little Tikes type items).
|
|
These
items are in higher demand and you can get as much as 1/3-1/2 of original
retail price -
|
|
especially
if they have only been used indoors and are in great condition.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTES
|
|
|
|
Outfits & sets tend to sell better.
Whenever possible, pair up tops & bottoms.
|
|
Attach a matching hair bow, socks, tights or belt to
make a truly complete outfit.
|
|
|
|
Price
infant clothing size 0-12 months low - there is often an abundance of
like new,
|
|
barely worn clothing in
this size. These sizes gets little wear &
so many are given as gifts.
|
|
The lower your prices, the better chance it will sell.
|
|
|
|
Bundle like-items together to make a better value.
|
|
Examples: Board books, chapter books, small infant
toys, puzzles, DVD's,
|
|
baby bottles, sleepers, onesies, etc
|
|
|
|
Allow your items to be reduced on 50% off day
- it's better to get less and clean out your closets,
|
|
than to have to take back home items you don't need.
|
|
(Especially true if you are donating your unsold items
anyway!)
|
|
|
|
Sellers who price reasonably and
allow items to be discounted on half-price day,
|
|
generally sell a higher percentage of their
items.
|

|
|
Use your best judgment, and price your items higher
or lower where you see fit.
|
|
You are in control of your pricing!
