I have A LOT of other stuff too, but I just need some input on things that I either have a lot of or that are big items.

I have thought about placing an ad on Craig's list, but I don't want to mess with ebay, I normally end up on the losing end of that.

Answer 1

Don't sell the bottles!!!!!!!!!!!! Yuck! It will just make you look bad.

Answer 2

I'm sure a lot of people would, as long as everything is in good condition.

Answer 3

I have had a TON of garage sales - and shopped even more: Some stuff you are lucky to just get rid of! I usually have a 3-4 day sale - start prices high, and start dropping if a few people ask and walk away. The last day of the garage sale drop your prices LOW to get rid of the stuff - otherwise you have to box it up and drag it to Goodwill --- If you don't want to sell too cheap Keep the few good items and sell on Craigs List

Also - the big baby stuff will sell better on craigs list, I'm having a baby in 5 weeks and have bought SO much of her stuff on there - The prices are awesome compared to new, and I don't have to go garage saling with my two pre-schoolers and my 8 month belly!! - sold a lot of stuff too, MUCH easier then Ebay (I was a professional seller on Ebay for 8 years, and I won't touch it anymore!!)

Baby Bottles--Soothie & Gerber -- at most $1 each - more like 50-25 cents

Wine Glasses (glass or lead crystal) - sets of 4 or more $1-2 each (4 glasses $6) , 50 cents or $1 for singles

Bottle Warmer - $3 ?

Container to hold nipples and rings in the dishwasher - 50 cents

Cookie Jars - depends - sets go for more

Kids' Clothes 25 cents to $2 at most

Maternity Clothes--name brand -- hard to sell clothes - $1 each at most

High Chair - depends on age - $10 - $40 if its almost new (name brand)

Bassinet - I just bought 2 for $30 and $20 on craigs list

Little Tikes Toy Chest - I paid $5 for a LT dinosaur toy box that sat outside - so up to $10-$20??

Little Tikes outdoor slide - I got $20 for a nasty LT kitchen....

Fisher Price Qquarium Swing  - I paid $50 for the aquarium swing 3 years ago - just got the newer version used for $50 -- saw on CL for as low as $30

Play Pen - $20- $50 depends on condition/age -- look on Craigs list to see what other people are asking - then ask $10 or so less

Dining Table (no chairs though) - 10-30 depending on condition

Paperback books - 25 cents -- or just give away!!

Canning Jars (boxed in boxes of 12) -- $5 at most per box, I have NO IDEA what these sell for at stores - tell people to make offer for all

Twin Stroller - Mine did not sell at garage sale - but seen people asking $50 for the front/back type -- Craigs list item

Travel System (stroller, carseat/carrier, and base) - lady asking $100 or so teh other day, but it had the swing too. I paid $15 for the carrier & base last week. Maybe $50, sell on CL

Full box of bottle liners - whatever they give you! $2 ??

Johnny jump up - hubby paid $15 for mine at an auction (used - doorway type) I believe I sold it for $5 at my garage sale

Answer 4

I sold a bike trailer on craig's list and I got a lot more than I would have at a garage sale. You should sell it as a lot together. At my mom's garage sale, I sold 2 swings and a stroller for $40. Good luck

Answer 5

personally i would not buy bottles that are used.

infafeeder- honestly i do not know what that is LOL!!!!

wine glasses- 50 cents to 1 dollar

bottle warmer- 1 dollar

nipple holder- 50 cents

cookie jar- 1 to 2 dollars

kids clothes- 25 cents each or 1 dollar for outfits

maternity clothes- 1 to 2 dollars each

high chair- 10 dollars

bassinett- 10 dollars

toy chest- 5 dollars

outdoor slide- 5 dollars

swing- 10 dollars

playpen- 5 to 10 dollars (depending on if it has the changing table on it)

table- 10 dollars

books- 50 cents each

jars- 3 dollars for box of 12

stroller- 10 dollars

travel system- 30 dollars

bottle liners- 1.50

jump up- 5 dollars

mind you it also depends on your area that you live in. i live in N. Texas and the folks here look for good deals.... they will not buy things if it normally is above 10 dollars unless it is a large set for something major (like the travel system).... but even though these might seem low on cost, remember that these are used....

Answer 6

too many items to list prices

Answer 7

Baby Bottles-- nothing, I don't buy used bottles

Infafeeders - don't know what this is

Wine Glasses - 25 cents each

Bottle Warmer - $1 at most, but I have no use for this

Container to hold nipples and rings in the dishwasher - 75 cents, maybe a dollar

Cookie Jars - depends on the theme... $1-$10

Kids' Clothes - nice clothes $2 for an outfit... ok outfit $1, play clothes.. I wouldn't buy but 25 cents is good... if the clothes are over size 24 months you really shouldn't charge much for  them if they aren't dress clothes or name brand... I dunno, older kid clothes just isn't as nice...

Maternity Clothes--name brand - $1-2

High Chair - depends on the quality... some of the older ones I wouldn't pay over $5 for, but a really nice one I could see spending $25 on

Bassinet - I see no purpose in there, so I wouldn't buy one... but i'd say $8-10 is fair

Little Tikes Toy Chest - $8

Little Tikes outdoor slide - $10

Fisher Price Qquarium Swing - $10

Play Pen - $15

Dining Table (no chairs though) - $10

Paperback books - 50 cents

Canning Jars (boxed in boxes of 12) - $1.50 for all

Twin Stroller - $30 depending on brand

Travel System (stroller, carseat/carrier, and base) - used car seats aren't great so I would base my price on the stroller... so maybe $20.

Full box of bottle liners $1

Johnny jump up - $5
