Yard sale issue with my mother in-law?

what might be junk to you, might not be junk to someone else. and i usually price my stuff too high when i have a yard sale because people are always going to talk you down.

Price your stuff how you want and let her price her stuff how she wants. I don't really see what the problem is. There's always "junk" at yard sales. Its up to the customers to weed through the junk to find the good stuff. You have the good stuff, so you'll most likely sell everything and have some good pocket money afterward. She most likely won't sell as much. No big deal. I think you're getting your panties in a bunch over something silly. You've both already agreed on having the yard sale together, so its time to try to not control this situation so much. Its just a yard sale.

i'm not answering your question, i didn't read it all...i just wanted to say you don't "sale something" you "sell something" it was really annoying me!

Tell her to have her sale somewhere else. She's just being picky.

Yard Sales always seem to start family disagreements. Agree to price a couple of items at a higher price to appease your mother-in-law, you have her for life & if it will keep from bringing this disagreement to the dinner table and involving her son - isn't it worth it! Let your mother-in-law know you are going to try pricing a couple of items higher than you normally would to test her method. Ask her if she would be willing to lower the price of a couple of her items to see if she will move more "junk". Compare notes HONESTLY after the yard sale and then draw your own conclusions. It doesn't matter who was wrong & who was right in your eyes. But you have started the first level of understanding each other. Agree that you both did well and to consider each others opinion at the next one. Rule of thumb: Yard Sales are designed to remove items from your home that you no longer wear or use. Unless the item is in it's original wrapper, no item should be priced at more than 50% of it's original price. If it is new & unused, price it at no higher than 75% of the purchase price. Customers expect to get a Bargain Price for a gently used items. which is 1/2 the price they would have to pay for the item new. If it has not been gently used condition, you might want to consider going as low as 25% of price paid. Anything that is too used & abused should be placed in a free box near the door. The box will more than likely be empty by the time the sale is over & you will be hauling a lighter load to the landfill or charity of your chose.
