I like boobies.

And pancakes.

Make sure you mention any collectible type stuff on a Craigslist posting and probably post on MiceChat Collectible - Merch Buy/Sell/Trade forum.

Wish I could go and shop, but finances are tight.

We have a rolling clothes rack, but no way of getting it there.

We're not that far....just roll it in!

10-15% of the original price/value, depending on condition and brand name of item.

(i.e. $100 evening gown worn more than 5 or 6 times - $10. $100 Guess jeans in good repair - $15. Generic Walmart jeans - $2. Basic coffee maker - $2. Short veneer bookcase, no scratches - $6. Tall oak bookcase, light scratches - $15.)

The only exception to that rule are well-read paperback books which I'll usually price at 25-50 cents each.

I keep it cheap, and I usually have very little left by day's end, and a nice pile of cash.

Thanks for the info. I've been apartment living for the last 20ish years so I'm out of garage sale mode.

Have posted an ad on the local Pennysaver Internet site and in the Community Outpost on Micechat. T is taking care of Craig's List....any other free or very low cost suggestions?

Yay - I'm starting to pull stuff out. Maddy's polo thing got cancelled so she's in as well. Now to start pricing everything.
