Hi Stephanie! And congrats on the great sale! Just a simple question about pricing. How do you price your items so they sell fast without feeling like you gave them away?
I price them based on what I paid for them, what condition they are in, and weather I have the original product pamphlet. I ask myself if I would purchase this item used, and would I buy it for what I am pricing it at. I consider the rule of 30% – $40% Duck Duck Goose recomends but price it more for what I feel it is worth. And sometimes that is more like 50% to 60%.
Correction: I price them based on current retail price (OR) what i paid for them if they are not a current selling item.
Hey Stephanie… just wondering if you had any ideas for preparing baby bed linen sets- all matching quilt, bumper, sheets, even the matching lamp and wall decor? To see it is to believe how cute it is and I couldn’t figure out how best to present my items!
Also, baby/ toddler hats? On clip hangers or in baggies or is there a hat rack at the sale?? Thanks for any help and or ideas! Laurie
Laurie,
There is no better way to display your nursery decor than the set it up on a bed being sold in this event. If you ask Brad, he will, if there is a bed available, dress the bed and create a nursery within the sale. I did not sale my beautiful set last sale because there was not a bed available. And I agree that some sets just can’t be valued properly without seeing it in “action.” If there isn’t a bed available the day of the sale then do your best to package it as you would have purchased it. Do you still have the original bag? or packaging? Make sure you have an 8 1/2 X 11 sheet of paper listing all items included and original purchase price.
As for hats, I put the 3 1/2 X 5 card in a snack baggie and then pin the baggie to the hat. I, as a consumer, would want to open the hat so putting it in a baggie might turn some buyers off. The baggie helps prevent the card from being torn off the hat.
Stephanie,
I need your opinon on onesies. I have too many groups of onesies to keep it within the 10 limit rule. The majority are the nice 5 pack of carters onsies. Do you think they would sell any better if I keep them grouped together or try to sell each of them for $1 on a hanger? A few of the groups I also have matching pants so I was going to put them all in one bag if I could because I am the kind of person that would want the matching sets. What do you think?
Thanks,
Heather
Heather,
Are your onesies the plain white under onesies or the themed sets? All the white under onesies should be put into a baggie in lots of 5 to 7 of the same size. I sell these one dollar each. 5 onesies $5, 7 onesies $7. This saves you hanger cost. The themed onesies are nice to put on a hanger with the pants/shorts pinned to the back and an extra matching onesie/pants/shorts in a baggie attached to the hanger. Onesies are still priced $1 each, pants $2. So price groupings accordingly. But the overall price is your discretion.
Please let me know, here, if this does not answer your question or if I misunderstood what you were asking.
Stephanie
