​Pricing is one of the most important factors in determining how much you earn at the sale. The Bonsack Preschool Consignment Sale is known for offering high quality children's items at affordable prices. Shoppers come expecting great deals, and items that are price competitively tend to sell best.

 

When pricing your items, focus on what a shopper is willing to pay today rather than what yo originally paid for the item. The most successful consignors focus on selling more items rather than maximizing the price of individual items. 

 

These are common price points that perform well at our sale:

​

• Tops (generic brands) = $1-$2

• Tops (name brands) = $3-$5

• Bottoms (generic brands) = $2-$3

• Bottoms (name brands) = $3-$6

• Boutique Clothing = $Up to $10

• Pajamas = $2-$5

• Dresses = $3-$6

• Onesies = $1- $2

• Clothing Sets (higher for name brands) = Up to $8

• Shoes = $3-$10

• Outerwear (brand dependent) = Up to $20

• Accessories = $1-$5

 

Toys, books baby equipment, and other items vary based on brand, condition, wear, and demand.

 

These are guidelines only. Brand, condition, seasonality, and demand should always be considered.

 

Just remember, shoppers are looking for a bargain. So price your items for consignment value rather than what you originally paid or sentimental value.

 

Consignment Sale prices are typically higher than yard sale prices, but lower than Facebook Marketplace and Once Upon a Child prices.

 

Whenever possible, pair coordinating items together. Complete outfits often sell faster than individual pieces and can help move slower selling items.

 

Not every item will sell during every sale, and that's okay. If an item returns home unsold, consider whether the price may have been too high for shopper demand. Many successful consignors adjust pricing slightly from sale to sale based on what sells and what doesn't. Remember - selling an item for a lower price is better than it returning home without being sold.

 

Our rule of thumb is it if does not sell within 3 sales with a price adjustment, consider donation.
