I was planning on selling them at place settings including-
dinner plate
small plate
bowl
smaller bread plate
teacup saucer
teacup (if i even have these, they may be in storage)
i may also still have the napkin rings
Is $3 per place setting too much? not enough? Or should I just sell them as individual pieces
I also have some shoes I have worn maybe once or twice. They are all trendy high heels, "club shoes" a, something at 20 something would like. They were probably around $30 a pair. nd a couple pairs of new tennis shoesWhat should I price those at?

yard sale pricing?
pricing dish sets for yard sale?
i have a set of dishes from JCpenny I am selling at a yard sale. I have service for 16 but may have a couple broken pieces.I was planning on selling them at place settings including-

Re: yard sale pricing?
I would package the dishes altogether and have one price for all. I had a yard sale last year, and for items that required more details for the purchaser, I printed something up - so in your case I would print up a list saying what all is included in the package. $20 is probably too high for used dishes. I sold a brand new set of Corningware (still in box, with a print out showing how much it retails for) for that much, so I would drop it to below $10 for the whole set.
When you are pricing things,forget how much you paid for them. Your ultimate goal should be to just plain get rid of stuff. I will tell you now that the stuff I had priced too high, I packed up, hung onto it for six months and eventually gave it to the Goodwill. Price stuff cheap and it will go.
As far as the shoes go, I wouldn't do more than a few dollars - like $2-3. Clothes just plain do not sell well at garage sales. I had a few clearanced-out shirts from nice places like Ann Taylor that I couldn't even get $5 for and they had the tags still on them. If they are in that great of shape, I would go Craigslist or eBay. Even then, they would have to be really recent - like within the past year or two. Otherwise they are probably more outdated than you think.
Lastly, if you get the chance, I would definitely read some blogs about garage sales. There are a few ladies out there who dedicate a lot of time to both holding their own and visiting others, and they have a lot of good info to pass along. I would take the time to read up on tips and pricing because it will certainly help you get rid of things.
