Suggested Pricing Guidelines

These are just a few prices to help. 

You control the price! 

 Please remember, no matter how nice the brand or how low the price, we do not accept stained items. 

Please don’t use your time hanging and tagging an item with stains.  Keep the standards high and bring only your BEST!

Please use this as a guide.  When in doubt, price your items for what you would like to sell them for and let them go 25-50% off on discount days to ensure it sells.

 

1.     Clothing is best priced at 20% to 35% of the retail price.  A $10 shirt from target is priced well at $2.50.  There is a high supply of 0-2T clothing, especially in girls. Tag these items as outfit sets or like item groups and price them at 20% of retail for standard clothing brands.  Below are our suggested and proven price points for different categories of clothing. You must keep in mind the brand/label of your clothing and price accordingly.  Group your clothing into 2 categories—Standard labels and Premium Labels to help with pricing

 

2.    Some examples of Standard and Higher End labels are:

 Standard-

Clothing: Faded Glory, Carters, Circo, Healthtex, Sonoma, Simply Basic, Kid Connection, Lee, Levi, Old Navy

Gear & Toys: Evenflo, Baby Trend, Graco, Cosco, Jeep, Eddie Bauer, Safety First, Especially for Baby, Fischer Price, Avent, Baby Einstein, Boppy, Munchkin

 3.    When selecting your price for the item, think of what you would pay for the item.  If you are trying to clear clutter, price it lower on the scale and allow it to go half price to ensure it sells.  If you are trying to maximize your check, you can price at the higher end of the scale.

 4.    Don’t price an item for $3, knowing it is “over-priced”, and hoping to sell it for $1.50 on half price day.  Over 70% of our shoppers shop during regular pricing times.  You will maximize your sales if your full price is competitive for the majority of the sale and then allow your items to sell half price on Saturday.  You always have the option of not letting your item sell for half price.
