Garage Sale Lawn & Garden Prices: What to Charge
Lawn mowers, snow blowers and patio sets take up garage space, but they can sell well when buyers trust that engines start and parts are complete. Drain or stabilise old fuel, wipe off grass and rust, and have the manual and model number handy. Push mowers and patio furniture move fastest in spring and summer; snow blowers sell best in fall before the first big snow. Start gas equipment outdoors where shoppers can hear it run, and be honest about hard starts or missing parts.

Pricing tips for lawn & garden
- Start mowers, blowers and trimmers for buyers; stale fuel is the most common reason they will not buy.
- Drain old gas or add stabilizer before sale day, and say if the machine needs a tune-up.
- Keep patio sets together and note rust, missing slats or faded cushions on the tag.
- Remove propane tanks from grills or disclose them clearly; never sell a leaking grill.
