Avent bottles

I just had a yard sale a few weeks ago.

Kids clothes: I priced them cheap, but I live in a rural, depressed area. You may be able to get more in your area.
--I taped the nice, name-brand outfits together and sold them for $1.00 each. I would personally pay up to $4 for a nice outfit with no stains, etc. (I just couldn't get that in my area)
--I sold other individual items for .50/ per piece
--I had a box of sleepers and wrote .25/each on the box.
--I had another box full of hats, bibs, onesies, socks, etc. and wrote .10/each on the box.

People bought baby clothes by the bag full, they went pretty fast, I only had a handful of items left at the end.

Avent bottles: I sold them for .25/each. I had around 8 of them.

Travel swing: I sold mine for around $8, but mine was older, if yours is in pretty good condition someone may pay $10-$12 or even $15 for it.

Not sure about the rest!

When I did my yard sale I priced baby clothes for one piece outfits $.50, two piece outfits $1.00, and t-shirts/shorts $.25. People bought them too without negotiating the prices at all.

It would really depend on the condition of the other stuff on how much I would price them. But, I would price a bit higher knowing people will most likely negotiate the price with you.

A few of the onsies have stains and I'll just sell them for a nickel, or bag them just to get rid of them. But, I have some nice stuff too without stains. I was thinking maybe $3-4 an outfit for the nice ones.

The baby equipment is all in great condition. What would be a fair price for the Rainforest Jumper

I would pay-
$30-$40 for the Jumper
$10 for a Bumbo
$5 for the Papasan
$.25-$4 for the clothes, depending on the brand and conditions.

Bottles usually sell for a couple bucks, if I was going to buy Avents then I would probably pay $.50-$1 each, especially if they aren't super scratched.
Maybe $5 for the microwave sterilizer? Seems fair to me.

Do you have a kijiji for your area? If I were you I would go on there and see what people in your area are charging for those items, around here you could easily get $40 for the jumper, $30 for the bumbo, and $25 for the swing. It is different everywhere though, I have also noticed that people tend to get more money for items that they sell on kijiji or facebook as compared to at a garage sale.

I live in the middle of no-where so I am sure we don't have a kiji(sp?). No Craiglist either.

you can sell things on facebook?

I never have any luck selling things on craigslist.

I have been wanting to buy a rainforest jumper for David. If I saw one at a yard sale in excellent condition I would pay $30-$40 for it.

I'd also advertize your yardsale on craigslist. It would only take you a couple minutes, and you'd be suprised at how many people check craigslist to plan out their garage saling.
