Garage Sale help. Your opinion please?

[fiendish]

I'm having a garage sale next Saturday and I want to get rid of some slow movers by putting out my own "dollar box" of, well, dollar-box stuff (e.g., low-grade BA/CA readers, plus misc. non-key, non-variant, non-hot moderns. Plus some Image/Valiant filler before I recycle it.)

 

How would you price 'em?

 

• $1 per book, straight up?
  
• $1 each, 6 for $5?
  
• $1 each, 7 for $5, 15 for $10?
  

 

(I'd go down as low as $0.25 if someone bought in mass quantities.)

 

Does this seem fair? Is it in line with what you see from other non LCS casual sellers at other flea markets and garage sales? Is there some other obvious pricing plan I'm forgetting about? [Other than "FREE TO GOOD HOME"?]

Fill a shorty for $40 worked very well for me

I do them 6 for $5 makes 6 move faster

I still have x-men 137/DD-181 in my 25 cents box

Tell people you sprinkled $20 bills in many books. They have to buy em without checking the bag first. Then have shills keep getting twenties and wait for the sales to boom.

This is a good idea...the bundle. I also always have some good stuff off to the side. If you get a more serious collector, and you have books that are higher end that you may want to part with, it's good to be prepared.

That's similar to my fill a box if you rub my *spoon* promotion, only with less neighborhood petitions.

Some of these are good ideas. Thank you! I'll have a short box of priced, higher-value books (and a few slabs, even).

 

Any other opinions/experience?
