Americans historically have not haggled for better prices on most items. We go to the nice clean supermarket where the prices are individually marked and pay that price. To keep up we need to learn that negotiation (aka haggling) is acceptable, expected and useful. We need to practice haggling. Start the Haggle.

Since you already gave them such a good deal on the car seat, they are unlikely to haggle too much on the baby clothes’ pricing. Just make sure they are all clean and in good working condition. Just make sure that they are in good condition and clean. In this case, selling the furniture as a set is a good idea.

Some people wouldn’t be caught dead going into a thrift store, but they are often nice, clean stores where you can find great, gently used items at great prices. Be Prepared to Bargain – In some stores, haggling will get you nowhere, but in established flea markets and smaller stores, it is always worth trying to get a lower price.

If you can clean it, you want to do so. You want to price everything, and you want to be prepared to lower those prices when people start to haggle. This is not necessary, but if you do this, more people will know about your sale, which will hopefully lead to increased sales.

They burn away routine, tradition, habit, and like it or not, give you a clean slate, an empty page. Anything you want to save or re-use will need to be carefully cleaned. You may need to haggle with them over what was covered or not. Tragedies like fire or flood wash away, burn away so much more than “stuff.”

If, right away, you learn how to do things such as painting, cleaning (filters, dryer vents, refrigerator coils, carpets) refinishing (floors, furniture and etc) and lawn equipment care (cleaning air filters, changing spark plugs, sharpening blades, etc) – you can save yourself a bundle really fast.

I''m always looking for girls clothing, good books, and clean Tupperware. Be Ready to Haggle. If I have a free Saturday morning from April thru September--unfortunately it''s rare--I try to hit a community yard sale. Every year, we participate in our community''s yard sale. I found the plexi-glass sign holders at a yard sale!
