Well you could make a sign that says you'll willingly bargain for the items your selling. Most items in garage sales should be items you don't want any more so you could take the lowest price because it means nothing to you. |

It all depends on there condition, but since its been used you can sell it for half of what you bought it for or less. |

I typically don't mark anything. I'll tell them, "All clothing is 50 cents" when they walk up, which opens up dialogue. They ask how much I want for something, I tell them, they sometimes dicker and usually buy. It saves a lot of time pricing too. |

in between the two
but let the people know that you are willing to take offers
if they pick it up and set it back down-offer a lower price |

I would price things just a little higher than what I wanted to allow some room for negotiation except for items not worth much anyway, I'd price them to move. |

Where I come from, people will try to talk down a 25 cent item to a dime. Name your price and be ready to call them back to negotiate. I would never ask for best offer at a garage sale for merch under $10 though. I would rather burn or destroy it before their eyes. I like the satisfaction better than the insult they return to me! Once you toss an item or two into a burn barrel, people will have second thoughts about talking you down.
These are the same people who will come back on garbage day taking what you put out on the curb and scattering it all over the place like raccoons. |

That make me an offer sounds like a great idea, so there is no haggling! Brilliant!
You might even make more than you had planned on pricing it for!
Just tag it all with question marks, or leave them blank...again, BRILLIANT! |

Hi,
You can always mark it a little higher than your lowest price and then hang up a sign that says "No reasonable offer refused!" or something like that. Personally, I always price everything and I like shopping more when everything is priced.
When you are pricing your items consider the age, brand and condition. Some say 10% of original price and some say 30%. You can start at 20% and just use your best judgment, what would you pay for it?
Good luck with your sale! |

if you want to negotiate, then you can do that. if you really want to get rid of stuff, then you should price low. my suggestion to you is to price things at 10 cents on the dollar....meaning for every dollar that an item originally cost, you should sell for 10 cents. $1 = $0.10, $2 = $0.20, $10 = $1, etc... |
