Questions about nearly new sales (a bit boring!) sorry!

[Florencenotflo]

I'm doing a nearly new sale next month. I've never done one before. How do you price stuff? Do you have a price for different kind of item? So £2 per babygrow, 50p per vest, £3 for an outfit. I'm just really confused, DH has said let people just make you an offer or say £10 a bag.

Some stuff is primark, Asda, Tesco. Other stuff is John Lewis, Next, Ted Baker (presents mainly). So would people mind paying £2 for an Asda babygrow?

Wish I hadn't bothered to sign up for it now but I desperately need some space in my spare room 😂

Which nearly new sale are you doing? Any reputable one will send you sellers tips a couple of weeks before.

To answer your question, no people won’t pay £2 for a babygrow. Try 3 for a £1 is more normal pricing for these sales. Outfits for £3 is fine though as long as they’re great condition.

Clothes aren’t the best seller at these markets, people do best when they have a few larger items/toys to sell which brings people in to the stalls then look at the clothes while they are there.

Very experienced in these sales

Also, don’t just let people make offers in lieu of you pricing things. Price everything up before hand as majority of people don’t like asking for prices as feel embarrassed if it is too high. Things that are already priced with stickers on sell quickest

I did one of these sales in December, they’re a great way to shift all the baby clothes and toys you need gone!
People are looking for bargains and nearly everyone is selling things for 50p or £1. I did price up some of the clothes the night before but then I let all the clothes (jumpers, trousers, dungarees) go for £1 each after an hour.
I would say people would definitely not buy a babygrow for £2, more 50p - £1.50 if new with tags. Ted baker clothes you can definitely mark up if in good condition, if not try eBay as they sell well on there. Good luck! Don’t forget your change!

@Subwaysalad I'm doing one near Whitstable. I've had the sellers tips but it doesn't mention anything about pricing unfortunately. But what you've said is handy to know. Most are sets of 3 so I will safety pin them together and add a price sticker then.

Luckily I've got bigger things to sell too (next to me crib, stroller, baby swing x 2, bath support thing) so hopefully the clothes will go too. I want to get rid of them, making a bit of money is a bonus, but I didn't want to price too low or too high and be left with stuff to bring home.

@AlfieandAnnieRose I have tried a few bits on eBay but it's really not worth the hassle sometimes.

Looks like I need to get it all out again and price it all up!

I run Mum2mum markets and our sellers tips have rough guides of pricing!

Yeah you will probably make your most money from the bigger items they tend to go really quickly if priced well. Just make sure you check with whatever market you are doing you will be allowed all those big items as at mine you only have one space to the side so everything else needs to fit under your table - obviously this will differ between sales.

Id definitely advise that if things aren't selling within the first half hour then to slash your prices if you dont want to take things home - the first hour of the sales tend to be really busy then the second hour quiet
