Price and sell jewelry at garage sale?
I have alot of jewelry over 1000 pieces from estate sales, yard sales, and so on. Much is vintage costume jewelry but there is a little of everything. I want to make up mystery "grab bags" priced from .25 to $5.00 with jewelry. What do you think? Good idea?
no refunds. That’s the point of being a mystery bag. Each bag will have well worth what they paid. If they pay .25 then te bag value is like 3-5$ that is why the price is only 25 tey are not loosing much
This is a very interesting concept. However, if its money for your jewelry that you crave, I think you’re likely to make more using a site like http://www.refinity.com. You can sell your old scrap jewelry or gold to them, and get a good kickback. Had a friend who used them. But I admit, it’s not as adventurous as filling mystery jewelry bags to the brim.

No because what happens if they don’t like the bag they picked are you going to refund thier money????

i think that would be cool, but also sell some good pieces by themselves, so then people can see a little of what is in the grab bags.
good luck!

I think you should go to an antique dealer. With the vintage jewelry I watch those shows on TV and sometimes peoples things are worth like over 10k and i hear a lot that they bought the stuff at a yard sale for a cheap price.

People will think that if you cannot show it and sell it, then it must be pretty worthless junk. People might go for the quarter bags just for fun, but forget about anything near $5. I think you would be better off to just try and sell it since people will get what they want. I had a yard sale today and they bought all my jewelry even though a lot of it was junk. I just sold it real cheap. If you are willing to sell it cheap, you can get rid of it.
