Update: Selling Things Online

So I sold a Bratz doll house, that I bought at a yard sale a year and a half ago for $5, yesterday via craigslist.  In all honest, my daughter played with it when we got it, but she just doesn't play with it that much anymore because it isn't a real house like her other doll house.  We listed it for $10.  We met the lady at a grocery store by our house, as not wanting to sell from our house for security reasons.  The lady showed up with a $100 bill.  I explained that I didn't have change and she said she felt really bad but had been in such a hurry.  She proceeded to go inside to get change from the register.  I guess they told her she had to buy something no matter what, so she grabbed the first thing in site, a big family size box of Hot Pockets.  She came out, gave me my money and I gave her the item.  She then asked if we eat Hot Pockets and gave us the box of Hot Pockets.  hahaha  So we got the $10 + a family size pack of Hot Pockets, with an item that I bought for $5.  Pretty good to me.  :)

We have a huge collection of Little People toys.  Frankly, I think my son is really growing out of that stage.  Seeing as how he'll be three at the end of the year, I decided it was time to let them go since he doesn't play with them anymore really.  I didn't know how to price it all since there was so much stuff.  I originally posted it for $120.  I decided later on that that is way too much.  So I later came back and listed it at $75.  It is a lot of stuff as you can see.  http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/bab/1883450018.html

Most of the items were purchased from yard sales.  Some were given from friends who's kids had outgrown that stage.  And, before I had mastered the art of yard saling, I went and bought two brand new play sets which were really expensive compared to yard sale hunting.  One of those items, I am letting my son keep because he does play with it with his toy cars (the Little People garage).  The other of the "new" items was the barn.  I bought both of the new items  for $20 each on a major sale at Target.  So I really just wanted to make sure I didn't exactly lose money in the selling process, if that makes much sense.  Yard sale shopping isn't free either, so I had to make sure it was a decent price as well.  So $75 was a good price I thought.  I could have broken the sets down, but I really just want the stuff out of the house to make room.  I got a few emails today for the Little People items.  A lady is supposed to meet me at the grocery store tonight after work to purchase all of it.  It will be a relief to get it out of the house.  Looking forward to it  :)
