Pricing Tips:
Unsure about pricing? Consider the age and condition of the item and assign a value approximately 25 to 50 percent of the original cost. If you don’t know or can’t remember the original cost, make your best guess.
- Do NOT price patterns or pattern magazines.
- Package or bundle your items. Place small items such as ribbons, buttons or fabric scraps in securely sealed, clear plastic bags.
- Price in even dollar amounts only (such as $1, NOT $1.50).
- Use permanent ink in large print to mark prices on stickers/masking tape. Securely fasten to items.
- If you know, include fiber-content, yardage, etc.
