Should I have items marked with prices or give them off the top of my head? Prices need to be marked. I hate going to yard sales and asking someone everytime I see something I like to buy. OR make sure your signs are clear "all books" .25 cents for example.



If I price them, should I price them much higher than I really expect to sell it, figuring people will haggle?
Price to sell. Unless you enjoy setting all that stuff up and then taking it back inside after the sale because it didnt sell.

Furniture items in excellant shape only, price little higher.
Otherwise price reasonable to sell. I got a neat upright stuffed chair for $5 last year.
I argree! The earlier the better and mark everything. It will free up your time and ability to pay attention to other matters like hauling in the cash.

If you get a lot of traffic you aren't going to have time to answer a bunch of questions about prices and keep an eye on everything at the same time.

With a lot of yard sales in the area people are going to be in a hurry to look through your stuff and get on to the next one. There's nothing more irritating to a dedicated yard sale shopper than having to waste time asking the price on every single item they're interested in.

Good luck with the sale!
