Garage Sale Electronics Prices: What to Charge
Used electronics can sell well at a garage sale, but buyers worry about whether they still work. Prices depend on age, brand and condition, and older models lose value quickly. Give shoppers a way to test items, include every cable, remote and charger you have, and be honest about any faults. Before selling a phone, tablet, laptop or console, back up your data, sign out of your accounts and reset it to factory settings.
