generally buy what attracts their eye first. Things that are neat, clean, etc
will sell better and faster than those things that are wrinkled and messy.
Please
ensure that items you plan to sell are not subject to manufacturers' recalls.
For assistance, please visit the website of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission at http://www.cpsc.gov/cgi-bin/prod.aspx

Because we would like
uniformity in our pricing, the following guidelines have been established to
help you price your items. v
These are only guidelines and
you are asked to use your best judgment when pricing.
One thing to keep in mind is: items priced too high do not sell. v
Price your items to sell
quickly—especially 12 months and under clothing. v
Good rule of thumb: 1/3 of the
new price if item is in good condition and ¼ of the new price if the item is in
fair condition. (This applies
specifically to clothing) v
Evaluate your prices:
Would you pay that price for that particular item. v
Items must be marked
in $0.50 increments.
