Selling scrapbook supplies at a garage sale

I would love coordinated supplies, but I'm guessing that's not the most popular answer.

Regarding scraps, I would be annoyed at anything under 6x6. If you have a lot of pieces that are smaller than 8.5x11, you could package them as a bag of scraps, like they used to have at the LSS (when those used to exist!)

Half-used sticker sheets hold very limited appeal for me. Ironically if the sticker sheets are cut apart so that you have "individual" stickers and no blank spaces, I like them just fine. It's mind games, I know, but I thought i'd throw that out there!

If you just want to get rid of stuff, sort into coordinated groups and let the scraps go in coordinated bags for free. That will get the scraps out of there. I wouldn't pay anyone for scraps but I might grab a "free" bag that was sorted into coordinating colors (if I was still a scrapbooker, which I'm really not).

When I’m shopping at one of those sales, I won’t buy a random bag full of stuff even if it’s sorted by theme. I would rather get a bag of paper, a bag of stickers, a bag of ribbon. I have way too much stuff myself, so if I’m going to buy someone else’s leftovers it has to be something I really want or need, LOL. I tried putting coordinated things together into kits of sorts and they just didn’t sell even at $2 a bag (stuffed). People wanted to pick and choose stuff out of the bags. I was thinking, “Seriously? It’s two bucks! Take what you want out of it and resell or donate the rest!” 

I agree with the previous poster who suggested bagging up the scraps separately to sell. I did that at one of the sales I participated in and was really surprised by how quickly those bags got snapped up by the card makers. 

I would also strongly suggest pricing everything to move. The last thing you want is to have a bunch of unsold stuff to drag back home after the sale. Good luck, I love those sales (both selling and buying)!

When I sold off my scrapbook stuff, I made up page kits. Every single one of them was taken. It was work on my part but I left there with everything gone.

This. Is your goal perfectly happy customers, or just finding it a home? Small grab bags in quart ziploc bags would be best.

PS where do you live 😂

I would list heavy paper on eBay or esty. There are people who are still looking for that one elusive sheet of paper.

Each bag had probably $20-30 retail of new double sided cardstock weight patterned paper, coordinating sticker sheets, big alphabet sticker sheets, printed diecuts and various coordinating new in the package embellishments. If people aren’t willing to pay $2 a bag for that, then I don’t know what to tell you. I was already practically giving it away.

Honestly, after that I was so sick of looking at it that I even want to mess with it anymore and I donated most of it. 😕

Could you sort some of it by color?
Especially if you had a lot of stuff in local hs or college colors?
There was a point where I would buy purple stuff because it’s my favorite color or buy burnt orange stuff because my dh is a Texas Longhorn.

My preference would be sorted by product, ribbon with ribbon...

I wouldn't want scraps mixed in with a "kit".  I would consider buying a full bag of scraps for cardmaking.  It would be a good way to have some variety in your stash.

Good luck with your sale.

You might actually get more money and save yourself some time if you sold your supplies as a bundle/lot on CL's. I know in our area, people don't want to pay much at garage sales and most aren't in the market for scrap supplies.
