Price too high and things don't move; price too low and you leave money on the table. These are typical ranges we see at sales around metro Atlanta, as a starting point only. Condition, brand and demand matter more than any chart.
| Item | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Clothing (adult) | $1-$3, name brands $5+ |
| Kids' clothes | $0.50-$2, or bag sales |
| Books, DVDs | $0.50-$1 |
| Small kitchen appliances | $5-$15 |
| Power tools | 25-40% of new, if tested |
| Hand tools | $1-$5 each, or a box price |
| Furniture | 20-30% of new for good condition |
| Bikes | $10-$60 |
| Toys | $1-$5, big ride-ons $15-$40 |
| Holiday decor | $1-$10 |
Local tips
- Sweaty August sales move slower; spring and fall are peak season.
- A Georgia Bulldogs or Braves item, or anything tied to a local team, often sells first.
- Group small items on "everything $1" tables to speed up checkout.
- Mark big items with a firm price and a "make an offer Sunday" note.
- Have small bills and a mobile-payment QR code ready.
