You're right. Sometimes people are reluctant to get rid of things because they don't want to be wasteful. Having a garage sale can alleviate a lot of guilt when it comes to parting with things we no longer use.

Garage sales are such a good way to force yourself to declutter. They are also "therapeutic" in that you say goodbye to possessions and at the same time can see how delighted the new owner is with a new-found treasure.

Pricing items for a garage sale or a yard sale is one of the biggest headaches when preparing for your sale. It's always difficult to know what price tag to put on your treasures. Here are a few garage sale pricing tips for pricing children's clothing.

First of all, if you have kids, you know that not all clothing is created equal! You are not going to want to sell that cute dress from Wal-Mart for the same price as the gorgeous dress you bought from Gymboree last Easter. You have to take into consideration the brand, age and condition when you are pricing and in order to get a little return on your investments!

Brand -- Popular selling brands are Gap, Gymboree, Limited Too, Children's Place, Janie & Jack, Hanna Andersson and other Boutique brands. You can put a higher price tag on these brands, especially if they are in great condition! People are usually willing to pay a little extra for these items, because they know what they sell for retail.

Age -- The age of the clothing is also a factor to consider. The majority of clothing from 10 years ago will be considered outdated and not in style, this will drop your price a little.
There are some exceptions to very popular name brands that are in excellent condition, like dresses, outfits or coats.

Condition -- This is the most important consideration in pricing anything for a garage sale...the condition! So, even if you have a very popular last season, Gap outfit in a very popular girls size 6, if it has stains or tears, it is not going to be worth much. Again, your customers will be willing to spend a little extra on something that is in excellent condition because they know it will last. I believe it is worth that extra effort to keep your kid's name brand clothing in great shape!
