I’m getting stuff organized for a garage sale, and I have a question. How much would you pay or expect to pay for a Tim Holtz tin filled with 12 Altenew ink cubes, some of which have never been used? I have six tins, so 72 ink cubes total. The tins would come with the cubes. Thanks in advance for your input!

I generally keep my garage sale stuff to be 10-20% of cost.

People go to a garage sale to look for rock bottom prices. You have to decide if your goal is to make some money vs mostly to get rid of unwanted stuff.

What would I pay? Probably $2. I don't use them or really know what they are but I might pick it up for a few bucks to try it.
It can depend on who is coming to your sale. Do they know what it is and what it costs new? Either way, if you want to make something more than a few dollars, sell it on a scrapbook steals site or ebay, or even here on the FSOT board.

Thanks for all the input, everyone! At this point, I think I'm leaning more toward getting rid of things, so I'll work on pricing the items accordingly.

One thought if someone is interested in inks - to have a note attached that says to see you to test inks. (Since I’m obsessive I’d probably laminate a little card and tape it to the box.) You could have a small paper pad for that purpose. People can be nervous about used inks being dry, or even unused but old inks. Maybe you’d get a little more $$ this way, or at least more interest?

I’d offer them on the FSOT board here or a Facebook stamping sales group. It would be more a hassle to post and mail, but you would probably make double if not more than you may make at a garage sale.

I feel bad saying this because I know how expensive our supplies are, but I wouldn't pay more than $10 for the tin and inks. $5 or $6, I'd probably buy one even though I don't need them. I think these prices are within 950Nancy's price estimate.

If I saw TH stuff at a garage sale I would be giddy at first then be looking at the prices.. Personally I wouldn't pay much for something UNLESS I was looking for that specific item. But if it is something random and just wanted it to try our or for fun, yeah I am not going to pay too much.. Probably not over $5. BUT again if it was something I was already on the hunt for and if it was still a little pricey I would pay more for it. Not a ton though. KWIM?  |

Yeah I’d say keep it low unless you are in a posh city with lots of stampers. Example: I am buying 100 gently used Copics from a friend in another state who is running an estate sale and advertising to known crafters. I knew the person who owned them and they were well cared for. I am paying 1.50 each. If I were selling them to non crafters in my town I would probably price them at .50 each because most people wouldn’t know what they are or what condition they are in.

Thanks again for all the input, everyone! I keep finding more and more stuff to put in the sale pile -- like a pack of page protectors for a Studio Calico album and six 12x12 Crafter's Workshop stencils!
