Price Your Items
- A general rule for pricing your item is to figure 20% -30% of the original price. The popularity, brand, and condition of the item will raise or lower that figure. If you are not sure of the original price, see our resources page for websites that may help you.
- Use only whole dollar increments.
- All items must be valued at a minimum of $2.00. Otherwise pair it with like items and offer as a set. Be sure to note in the description that the price is for both items.
**TIP** If selling a high price item, it is a good idea to find a picture of that item in a catalogue or online and attach the picture and original price to your item.
Group together cute items as a complete outfit (even if not the same brand). Outfits sell better!!!!
