foods
toiletries
makeup
poo/conditioner
saline solustions
razors
ect...

I also would love to know some prices. Thought about going to Walmart with a list and getting prices, then charging half of that.
But I just know someone one here probably has a list of products and prices on their computer they could E-mail or post. Pleeeeaz! I have mostly HBA including a tote full of trial sized products.

I want to know also we are having a community garage sale this saturday 4/10/10. I have never sold any of my stockpile but times are hard and I have to sell some of it. Hope someone can help us out with prices

Usually a good rule of thumb is 25-50% of retail. I've done really well with the following prices:

Cleaning Products (Lysol toilet bowl cleaner, spray, etc) - $1/each
Electrasol/Finsih Detergent -$2.50
Glade Sense & Spray - $3-$4
Deo - $1
Premium Razors (Fusion, Quattro, etc)- $4
Toothpaste- $1
Floss - .50
Body Wash - $1.50
Shampoo/Conditioner - $1-$1.50

I've never really sold food. I have a bunch of food coloring & spices from the recent McCormick's Deal that I am thinking of selling. Maybe .50 for the small spices (small cinnamons) & $1 for the Food coloring.

Sorry this is so jumbled, I copied/pasted from above to save time. This is some of what I charge and I usually do very well.

Lysol toilet bowl cleaner flies off the shelf at $1 each for me, most other cleaners/sprays are $1-$1.50
Glade Sense & Spray/Febreze noticeables/wisp flameless candles, etc. - $3
Glade soy candles Small ones $1, medium ones $2, large $3 I think
Suave deodorant 0.50, most others $1 or $1.25
I do $3 on my razors, I could probably sell a few for $4 but I prefer to sell them all for $3
Toothpaste- $1
Floss - .50
Softsoap 0.50 (might do 0.75 this year since they usually fly out at 0.50)
Dawn 0.50 I'm going to do the hand renewal for 0.75
Body Wash - $1.50-$2.00 (I'm planning on doing $1 for those small Gillette men ones from Target)
Shampoo/Conditioner/Stylers - $1-$1.50 depending on the brand
Most medicine I sell pretty cheap, $1-$2 depending on what it is
Most makeup $1 or $2 if it's really expensive (don't have much luck any higher than that)

I usually sell most if not ALL of my air freshener/candle type stuff. People love that. The other great sellers are always Lysol Toilet Bowl cleaner (don't have any this year:sad:), Softsoap hand soap, franks red hot sauce (usually do .25-.50 each), dawn or palmolive. That's just some stuff off the top of my head

Thank you both very much for the price ideas, That's cheaper than I though about doing. My ideas was to sell for half of Wal Mart prices, but I don't want to end up packing it all up again either so I'll go by your guidelines. I have a bunch of the glade oil holders, both the tin and the glass ones from Target deal this year as well as the 3 or 4 pack refills, how much would you ask for holder w/ a pack of refills? Need to clear those out but not sure the bayberry or apple cinnamon would sell right now.
(being selfish with all my regular candles, alllllll for me. just love candles)

Also, the softsoap, what kind of softsoap, hand pump??
I have a bunch of the softsoap ensambles both pump and refills,(the ones with the pewter colored pump and the decorated bottle) they are usually pretty expensive in the store. Would you let those go for .50 or .75 cents?
Thanks for all your advice.

For the holders and refills, I sell those separately myself. The glass holders by themselves I have priced at 0.75 right now. I have had them higher in the past and never sold them, so I lowered them to 0.75. I think I've got either 0.75 or $1 on the tin holders, can't remember and they're buried in a box

The refills I have sold in the past for $1.25. I have had a few people say it's too much, but I have also always pretty much sold them out, so you just have to wait for the right person. So, you could probably do a holder and a refill for $2 together and have no problem selling that. In fact, thanks for the idea, I may just do that myself

The softsoap I was talking about was just the regular small handsoap that usually sells for about $1 on sale at most stores. The softsoap ensembles I would price at $1.50 for the pump and $1.25 for the refill and see how that does. They are priced pretty high at the store but I just don't think people are going to pay much more than that for handsoap. You could do it higher though and then always lower if you need to. HTH!

I tend to go by a couple of factors.
was it free or a mm and how easy is it for me to geta good deal on again. then I look at store prices and go about half or a little lower.

I had 3 computer paper boxes full of glade candle refills and holders. Collected up from target and various clearance deals. I decided to sell the refills for a $1 and the holders for $1.25. They sold well and believe it or not, Bayberry and apple cinnamon flew away. The holders that don't come with a candle I sold for 75cents

I also did well w/ selling cleaners for $1.25 each
