Yard Sale Tips by Donnie and Amber Price items to sell. Those rusty grass clippers, that belonged to your favorite uncle, that don't work anymore, might be priceless to you, but worth 7 cents to a buyer. Be willing to bargain. Know ahead what's your best price for an item. Highly organized, colored-coded and priced, OR dusty boxes full of treasures to sort though? Either method seems to be successful. Be ready to prove an item's workability. Have an electric source available to test lamps and small appliances. Have items like bicycles in good repair, to get the best price. Have all parts and pieces for games and puzzles, etc. Be prepared for early-bird shoppers, they are really your friend! Early-birds are often willing to pay top dollar for items they really want. You take a risk that you will get a buyer for your items later in the day. We like to have a quarter box full of items that somebody out there can provide a good home for. You can put any small items that you know aren't worth much there and see what happens. Also, young "yard-salers-in-training" enjoy finding something to purchase in the quarter box.
