Garage sale pricing

What do you recommend for good condition/nice brand clothes (shirts vs pants vs sweaters,etc)?  What about if they are new with tags on?  Purses that are in great condition and fairly nice brands?  New shoes?

    Honestly I have found these items go for dirt cheap at garage sales. I haven't ever been able to sell them at a reasonable price which is sort of a shame. I know I try to take the approach of someone taking things in bulk. So instead of selling one shirt for $1 I would much rather sell 20 shirts for $15.

    I price somewhat high for a garage sale, but I'm not usually selling well-used items either.  Sadly, high for a garage sale is $2 per piece.  I do 3 for $5 as well.  Sometimes they sell well (like I had someone completely clean me out of 9-12mo stuff), sometimes they don't.

    Garage sales are hard. Really people are thinking "it's used" even if it has tags on it. Seems like people will only want to pay a $1 or 2. You could try pricing is a little higher depending on the brand. It's so hard to say with what people will be coming through. My SIL had a garage sale a few months ago and we sat around to people watch. oooh my god the haggling that goes on was craazy to me. People refusing to pay $2 for a decent pair of tennis shoes barely worn, only wanted to pay .50. It's astounding what people will argue over.

     GL though!! I hope it goes well.
