Price Guidelines. This guide will give you tips and ideas for pricing items so that you are putting money in your pocket and not taking your items back home. You are certainly welcome to price your items as you see best, but here are a few things to keep in mind when considering your pricing: ● Lower priced items sell more quickly. ● Consider marking your items for reduction on Saturday. ● Items sell best at about 1/4 of the original retail price. For example, a Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx jacket that sells for $40-50 new will sell quickly for $10. However, a nondesigner jacket will sell well at $2-5. ● High quality shoes may sell well for $8-10, whereas Target, Wal-Mart or Payless shoes should be priced lower. Remember shoes must be in "like new" condition. ● Pack-n-Plays sell between $25-50 depending upon condition, model, and year. ● Newborn basic layette items should be priced inexpensively to sell quickly. Consider putting several of these items in one bag. ● Items must be priced at $1 or above, in half-dollar increments (For example: $1.50, $2.00, $2.50). Lower priced items should be grouped together and sold as one item. ● Searching Craigslist, eBay, and Facebook Market are also good ways to research current pricing.

If you do not use cardstock, your tags may tear off and be lost. ● No regular paper. ● No fuzzy or textured paper. ● Must use a printer with normal toner. Ink jet printers are preferable. ● Dot matrix printed tags will not be accepted. ● Must use NORMAL or DRAFT print setting – BEST quality is too dark and causes the bar codes to bleed. Test one page of tags and make sure the bar codes are crisp and clear and not bleeding when you begin. ● Make sure that if you have a color printer, you have selected “Black Cartridge Only” from the printing properties screen. Otherwise, the tags can appear purple and blurry. ● In order to print You must be logged into the Second Blessings website at xxx.xxxxxx0.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ● If you are logged in to the Second Blessings site you will not need a print code. However, if you are asked for one, the print code for Second Blessings is PL181112371. ATTACHING TAGS ● Do not place tape over the bar codes. ● When tagging clothes use safety pin...
