Top 10 Items to Sell at Your Garage Sale

[@marieevans9943]

New subscriber. We had our yard sale on Saturday and earned $331 and are so happy. We even sold a bunch of the plastic storage containers so we would not be tempted to re-junk up the garage. I kept hearing your husband say "price it to sell". We took your advice and sold ice cold bottled water and soft drinks for $1 each. Thanks for your videos.

[@verikeri2849]

I have participated in my mother's church yard sale for the past 6 years and without fail handbags have been my #1 best seller, followed by home decor/entertainment items and shoes. The patrons have come to know our booth and look for us every year...we were voted best booth several years. One year I sold most all my items as I was unloading my truck. There was a lady standing there just taking things as we unloaded.

[@HisandHerMoney]

+Veri Keri I would be just like that lady was standing in line ready to buy your items too! I love your style and taste. Yes, purses do sell very well. I've had great success in the past selling my handbags. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@vheth5968]

Agree purses are hot, if they are nicer ones. But I have sold a couple of Antique ones. Some people love this stuff.

Thank you for your video!! Prepping a huge yard sale this upcoming weekend. I usually would prep a day before, and would look at items in the garage to sell the day of while my sister had items out for sale but this time around I am prepping. It's been a huge process because I had to purge a lot of things that were just stored in boxes in the garage-taking up to much space, I had to donate a lot (I could of use those items to sell, but in my situation I had to clear space to organize my garage) it has lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. I have more clarity on the things that I left to the end to sale (have room for it now) and this video made me realize other items I could sell from areas that need purging (such as the bathroom). What I did find from previous yard sales that I had in the past, are good yard sale signs. One of the reasons we did so well was because we made our signs unique and they were placed in proper places to get people to our home. We would use the same color arrows that were placed on the sign in the corner streets, and decorated the signs (cleanly) so they stand out differently than the regular sale signs. We would bubble in the letters, use tassel like paper at the bottom. There are usually other sales in our neighborhood, so it's important to keep your signs consistent in color and have them be unique. We would get compliments on our signs in how good they were and they would say we were easy to find because of it, people would find other yard sales along the way without missing ours. I would recommend this especially, is taking time to create good and unique yard sale signs and taking the time to prep! Every living situation is different. In my case, I had a lot of things that I did not use that were taking up space and it was extremely overwhelming, that is why I donated to clear space. Never forget to get those donation slips and take a photo of the overall haul your taking for tax purposes. :D Thank you for your video! I am so glad I found you two! Subscribed!! Can't wait to see your other videos! I'm on a debt free journey myself and this particular yard sale is going towards our home repair savings! Thank you for what you do-so inspiring!

We just closed on our home over a month ago and we went with 30 versus the 15 years. My husband is self employed, so on paper the 30 yrs made sense to us financially. The way we have our budget set up, we will be paying extra on the principle each month and should have it paid off in 16 1/2 years or sooner.

[@ashleyblois]

Whenever I put any sort of furniture out it sells so quickly. Any shelves and end tables always get us quite a bit of money. Clothes, books and toys always sell well too. When we had our last garage sale someone asked if we had any flower pots and the previous owner had left a bunch in the back she's so tee lady ended up emptying the whole shed and giving me money for them which was awesome because we were just going to take then to the dump.

[@freedominabudget]

I'm having a yard sale next month, this is so helpful to know how much to price my items!!

[@HisandHerMoney]

Perfect, glad we could help!

[@flippingforreal109]

So far I have watch two videos and I am starting to like this channel very much , you both have very good ideas for yard and garage sales.

[@hyepwr23]

i made 800 in 4 hrs doing garage sale selling junk this business is the best business ever can't wait to do more this weekend

[@TheRealLydiaSenn]

That's a great list! Selling toys as a lot sells really, really well.

[@HisandHerMoney]

Thanks for sharing and watching!

[@anitagreen1636]

Me and my daughter will have our first garage sale 8/23 and 8/24. I loved your advice and ill make sure we put it to use. Ill be back with the result 😉

[@stephanielynnhome]

I'm planning our first Garage sale right now, and this was so helpful! :) ~Stephanie

[@juliannamarie9879]

I have garage sales all the time with my friends and what sells the most are tools 🔦🔨🔧🔩⛏

[@Gracie21]

Great ideas! You've just motivated me to get my church youth group to hold a parking lot sale to fundraise for a mission trip this summer. Tfs :)

[@HisandHerMoney]

+Gracie21 Yes, do it! That is such a great idea. People would love to support.

[@kherbert2]

I've learned that ice/pop coolers sell great. In good condition, the small type sell for $4, the bigger ones sell up to $15. I pick them up at other sales and auctions. I can't keep them around. We have up to 20 garage sales a year.

[@vheth5968]

do you mean the ones where you make ice pops?

[@shineonucrazydiamond7536]

hi from Australia! thanks for your tips. first garage sale this weekend. I'll let you know what sells well:)

[@monicadaniel9439]

Doing my first real yard sale and I have a barely used pool table how much would you suggest I price it at? Not a high end but nice for a family with an overhead light Thanks

[@pami4482]

Yarn & craft supplies, Xmas decorations, linens, kitchen items, lamps & small furniture.

[@HisandHerMoney]

+Pam I Thanks for sharing!

[@djfoskbfikw5373]

You and your channel looks very professional good job

[@magbang1140]

Curtains have sold great for me! Customers may purchase them for the purpose they were intended or sometimes for the large pieces of cloth to repurpose.

[@HisandHerMoney]

That's a great idea!

[@TheMomanslm]

Outdoor equipment, army surplus items rule in this category. Tools are a huge hit too.

[@Miri87]

do you have a video for pricing the items?

[@MzOnosai]

How much change do you keep on-hand as seed money? Love your show. Great content, always!

[@christinamorgan140]

Does anyone have luck selling DVDs I have hundreds and how do I price them thank u this video is very helpful

[@tabithatierney6512]

So I’m notorious for procrastinating and want a garage sale and need to do it quick cause I may be moving is it crazy having it next weekend? The high is 44 degrees.

[@evelynchevalier1363]

I enjoyed it very much very much thank you Blessings to both.

[@HisandHerMoney]

Our pleasure!

[@candysmith8724]

Children's socks were a "hot" item at my sales - Nike, Adidas. I sold unopened Proactive Solution starter kits - they went nuts over that even with expiration dates exceeded. I had a bottle of perfume stolen from me at one of my sales, a lady took out the bottle from the box and left the box. Keep small items like jewelry and perfume very close to where you will be sitting.

[@angelawilliamson9950]

Perfume sells really well also! Love you guys!

[@orielleyturralde9983]

You are a very inspiring couple! Just like you, our debt so far is our mortgage and we are looking forward to being mortgage free 3 to 4 years from now. More power to the both of you and God bless you for all the financial wisdom you are sharing :)

[@manyfacetedjewel4027]

Thanks!

[@angelinalozada189]

Thank You, planning one in Puerto Rico.

[@Judy122550]

I just became a new subscriber I like all your tips & i think it is awesome your husband is so involved giving great tips as well !! ( Judy )

[@wonthefight]

Thanks, my community is having a yard sale soon. I rec'd great information from you.

[@nappyscribe1987]

My husband is a garage sale addict! He goes to garage sales and goodwills. The basement is full. He says, "they're collectibles".

[@PoolSwimming112]

He is a classic horder

[@ems8397]

Is September a good time to have a garage sale?

[@vitalorgans4944]

You helped me sooo much today in the garage sale! You deserve more subbs

[@irenapoe7858]

Thankyou for your video.

[@HisandHerMoney]

Thanks for watching!

[@gsmith5140]

That was very interesting. I have all of this stuff that needs to be purged. Thx!

[@cmw1riternboro]

great ideas storage containers sell well at garage sells

[@BearCubster]

I like looking for books in a garage or jumble sale.

[@Scrappicat]

Here, everyone wants tools and jewelry. They also want furniture but they want it for practically free. That's great if you're trying to get rid of it but not great if you actually want to make money. I put out used lotions and shampoos and I was amazed that people snatched those up. I've even put out slightly used makeup and sold it all. I couldn't believe it. Baskets seem to sell well. Oh and with jewelry, put out everything. Even if it is broken or there's only one earring, people will buy it!

[@HisandHerMoney]

+Scrappicat Great advice! We want to get rid of clutter and make money! We find that if we sell our items at great prices it's a win win. I can't wrap my head around someone selling garage sale items at top prices. Thanks so much for watching.

[@7KRTN]

Hey! I have 2 $200 chairs, how much should I sell them for? (Pretty much not used)

[@amyweir9932]

The rule of thumb for excellent condition furniture is 15% of retail. So, I would price each at $30 or $50 for the set. If that's less than you want, try selling them online instead of at a garage sale.

[@natalie11103]

Fishing Tackle!!! Fishing Rods!! They buy it like there is no tomorrow. Also tools. List big items you have on craigs list. We sold an engine lift to someone that wasn't even garage saling but pulled our add in his search for a cherry picker.

[@raypittman1063]

Yes I sold every last fishing item I had they like to make an offer on groups of it . And I'm not attached to materialistic things so let's make a deal !

[@kelceyfirth]

I always add a little money on top of the price cause people hustled me down by a few $

[@vheth5968]

Yes, I work for someone who does Estate Sales, a man was there that had at least 30 dollars worth or better, says you should just give this to me for free it is used. I won't pay more than 5 dollars . She gave a better than usual price for it all or part of it, he continued to tell her 5 dolla, no more, 5 dolla or free. I not buy more than 5 dolla. He ended up leaving, because she would not take 5 dollars for over 30 dollars worth of items. Just ignorant.

[@leni6864]

Great advice! Thank you!!!!

[@HisandHerMoney]

You are absolutely welcome!!

[@princellacarter4386]

Well I’m on the right track. I sell mostly the same items that you spoke about. Thank you for the information.

[@raypittman1063]

Sale everything because you never know what someone will buy

[@livingweirdestherc6644]

I love going to yard sales but have not had one in years.

[@kristincarr4465]

My mom used to put out a box that said "free" on it, mostly children's items, but really just items in general she knew she wouldn't be able to sell for .10 or less, mind u the year was in the early 90s) it lured the kids which in turn lured the adults to come check it bnb out Lol, I do this to this day.

[@iamshrutikognolkar]

Love your presentation. I am holding one soon. It is helpful indeed

[@HisandHerMoney]

We're so glad that our video was helpful for you!

[@genawatson4489]

I have been having garage sales for years. The things that I find that sell the best are shoes. Also used cell phones and video games. People always snatch those items up. I usually put out a box with a few items that I know won't sell and mark it for free. It really draws in a big crowed.

[@mungbean345]

Does it get confusing when people want you to add up all their stuff and they have both free stuff and stuff that's for sale? I'm debating whether to do a large free bin or not.

[@athriftymom]

thanks those are all things that I was scared of selling

[@vheth5968]

All these items are typical things, and in my experience have been hard to sell. I always seem to get people who want stuff I don't have. And some things I just can't sell for 5 or less when I paid way more for it and it's still new. I drop the price consderably, what I see people pay other places, but still have not had alot of luck. They want a ten dollar item or more for $1.

[@scrappinbeauty]

How much for brand new never used Christmas bath and body works lotions and how much for barely used bath and body?

[@therealtruckerbrown]

Love this channel I'm a fellow youtuber great job

[@sarahmoviereviewer4109]

I have gotten a huge stuffed Olaf at a yard sale and I use it as Christmas decor

[@HisandHerMoney]

Nice!

[@hlb0111]

I follow your podcast on Stitcher. Thank you for what you do - I've learned so much (I'm 45) abd have tried things I never would have Before because of you. I just made my first principal- only payment towards my mortgage; $40. I'll do that amount each month or something better. But what should I focus on first? I have a personal loan that's at 11.25% that I only have $6500 left on, and credit card debt of $18,000 at 7.25%.

[@kaylei001]

hlb0111 I really think you should clear your debt before putting extra money on your mortgage

[@melindashenker3075]

One more thing to add, before buying our home ,we were homeless living in a motel for 1 month .our realtor said it was the fastest he ever did a loan in his whole career.

[@HelpMamaRemote]

thanks! Getting ready for our citywide garage sale.

[@HisandHerMoney]

+HelpMamaRemote Woohoo! I know you're going to do well.

[@sellhousefastpropertysales2161]

Ok! Great tips!

[@romanlangmead8832]

Nice of you to do give that teacher that deal. At Walmart they will try to sell some books for upwards of 10 or 20 bucks so that saved her probably hundrerds of dollars.

[@THErazkad]

Awesome idea, I’m gonna do this in my office space, love from Nepal

[@phyllissmith302]

Home Decor items works for me.

[@deborahcagle6292]

You can try baking cookies or brownies and soda cans

[@Whoknows867]

Honestly the one thing that's missing is pet items! Any toys or crates treats etc that didn't work. Puppy and kitten items that aren't used etc. kitchen items are another thing that are amazingly wanted cake pans etc

[@HisandHerMoney]

+Faue Family Thanks so much for sharing! We don't have pets, so we didn't have any experience in this area.

[@fdoctor79]

Great tips. Wow, I am still amazed that people will buy used lotions and/ or body washes?!? Good to know. When hosting a garage sale how much cash should you have in order to give change back to customers (e.g. $100 etc...). TFS!

[@HisandHerMoney]

+fdoctor Yes, people will buy almost anything. We don't take out that much money. Our last garage sale we had $40 on hand. We didn't even have to use it all. Make sure you get a roll of quarters ($10) and singles! Thanks for watching.

[@crystaldawn722]

I always pull $55. $20 in quarters the rest in singles. I also don't price anything lower than a quarter that way I'm not trying to make change for an item I marked at .10 when the person gives me a dollar or 5 dollars.

[@genealotech]

Has anyone had experience selling dvd's? I'm looking to sell a bunch at mine and would appreciate any advice. Thank you!

[@HisandHerMoney]

+Dawn Bushman (genealotech) We have sold them before. We suggest selling them in bundles. Thanks for watching!

[@raypittman1063]

Set them out thru out your tables no one likes to dig thru boxes of them and fill up the gaps in table space with them DVDs $1 blueray $3-$5

[@aliciaegan4665]

Great tips!
