Answer
Three and half or four. We sold them at the neighbor's yard sale. Between the toys and old clothes, the kid made thirty bucks. They were thrilled to be rid of them.

How do I price items for a garage sale?
caffeinate
Is there a percentage-of-retail-price to use? I have mostly infant/toddler items including a pack-and-play, very gently used toys, etc. Would I be better off on ebay or a resale store?
Answer
Typical rule of thumb; customers at garage sales will pay ten cents on the dollar; so if you bought something for $10, asking $1 would be about right.
If you don't want to go through the hassle of having a garage sale or selling the items on Ebay, I highly recommend donating the goods. When you donate something you can get a tax refund for 1/3 of the item's value, so if you paid $10 for something you would get about $3 back. My husband and I did this last year when we cleaned out our basement. Instead of having a garage sale, we called the Salvation Army and they came and picked everything up. It was SO EASY and we got $1,100 back in tax refund just from the items we donated.
If you do decide to donate the items, make sure you get a receipt from the organization and keep a list of all the items you donate.
Good luck!
