To have any success selling items at a yard sale or on Craig's List, you have to price them to move. I have to turn it around and think like a buyer. If I were the one hunting for a used xxxxx, what would I be hoping to pay for it? and are there a lot out there for sale at that price? Also, as a buyer, I always dicker to try to negotiate the price down - I don't blame anyone else for doing this. Partly, the question is: how desperate are you to get rid of the item? For instance, right now I'm trying to sell a treadmill on CL. I originally had priced it at $400, which I do think it is worth. But nobody bit. I'll end up selling it for around $275, because it's worth it to me to be rid of it, and I'd rather have $275 than nothing. Also, always post photos of the item you're selling. And, even if you get less on CL than you hoped, you probably got more than you would have if you garage-sold it. hope that helps! Rachel,

Everytime I move (and it has been several times in the past few years) I try to get rid of clutter or furniture that I'm not using or will only take up space. Craig's list buyers usually have a way of not coming through for me unless I am practically giving stuff away. Do you have some tips on how to get the most for your stuff? -Rachel Terral Booth Fran,
