Consignment Sale Pricing?

Mrs.Guz

I'm selling a bunch of clothes at the All 4 Kids Consignment Sale next month and I need help with pricing. I have zero clue. Everything I'm selling is in great condition (many pieces worn only once) and a lot of name brand (Gymboree, Baby Gap, etc). How should I price them?

I think it depends on if you really just want to get rid of them or if you want to make money.  I'm not sure if your sale will have a 1/2 off day at the end or not...so you want to think about that too.  For what it's worth, I RARELY will buy anything clothing for over $5 at a consignment sale...unless i REALLY love it and it's like sparkling new and name brand and a two piece set...but I'm cheap.

 I need to make money. If I just wanted to get rid of it, I'd sell it all for super cheap. But I want to overprice anything because I do want it to sell. And they do have 1/2 off Saturday.

Gap - $5

Gymbo - $4

Carters - $3

Target - $2

I say these prices bc oftentimes I get brand new stuff at these very stores for these prices or less.

That's what I was thinking. I've never bought anything full price at Gap or Gymboree.

I like those cause they are all under my $5 limit :-)

The prices someone posted sound fair to me. I won't buy Target and Walmart clothing at consignment. I try to go name brand. I normally shop half off day. If something still has tags on it I'll pay more, but I'm still cheap when shopping consignment.

I would say this is a good guideline. I would buy at a sale if these things were in great condition and these brands. If something has a stain or has been washed a ton. I won't spend more than a dollar. Hope you make a bunch of $$ !
