**Remember, you set your own prices!
**
The following are some
guidelines for pricing:
-
Consignment items
are typically
priced at approximately 1/4 to 1/3 of their
original retail price. If your item is a higher-end item, with name brand
such as GAP®, Oshkosh®,
or Gymboree®, you may want to set the price on the higher end.
Clothing from discount stores, such as Target, should be
priced on more toward the lower end. Try to look at
the item from a buyer's perspective and determine what you
would pay for the item if you were purchasing it.
-
Certain consignment items, such as larger indoor/outdoor toys (kitchens and playhouses)
with brand names like Little Tykes and Step 2, can
be priced higher than apparel, around 1/3-1/2 of original retail price. These types of toys are
more durable and in greater demand.
The
price should also be based on condition,
with higher prices given to items that have only been played with
indoors and are gently used.
-
Package similar items together for quicker sale. It's more
attractive for a buyer to purchase a bag of similar items (socks,
blankets, toys) or a matching outfit than a single toy or pair of pants.
Plus, you can make more on these combined items!
-
Prices must be in whole dollar increments. Use our
detailed
pricing charts
for a better idea of how to price your items. Prices must be a
minimum of $1.
-
There are often many of the same type of item for sale, so if your item
is priced too high, it won’t sell. This is especially the case for
baby apparel (sizes 0 through 2T). Also, if you have items that you know
you won't want to take home, then you may want to price them lower.
