Pricing Guidelines

Tips for pricing your items to $ELL:

Remember, the idea is to get unused/unwanted stuff OUT of the house. Think to yourself, “What would I pay for this item?” Below are some pricing suggestions. This is only a guideline. YOU, as the consignor, determine your sale prices. Price competitively!

Items typically sell at 40-80% of retail. Common name brands (Gymboree, Children’s Place, OshKosh, Carter’s, etc) will sell at this amount. Higher end brand (LL Bean, boutique clothes, etc) will sell higher, while store brands (Target, Wal-Mart, etc) may sell lower.

Items that are unique, new, like new or in demand will sell priced in the higher range. Items that may be present in large quantities (ex. NB-2Tsizes or Boppys) may sell a little lower.

Spending a little extra time prepping your items (ex. Ironing clothing, scrubbing outdoor equip, etc) can often help you get the price you want and sell YOUR item, especially if there are several similarly priced items!
