Garage Sale Tools & Garage Prices: What to Charge
Tools are popular at garage sales and often sell early in the morning. Good-quality hand tools and working power tools hold their value better than many household items, so you can price them a little higher. Clean off dirt and rust, group small hand tools together, and show that power tools run. Yard equipment like lawn mowers and leaf blowers sells best when it is clean, checked and ready to use on the day.

Pricing tips for tools & garage
- Have an outlet or extension cord ready so buyers can test power tools.
- Include batteries and chargers with cordless tools; a tool without its battery is worth much less.
- Group small hand tools in a box or tray with one price.
- Say whether gas-powered equipment starts, and note how much fuel is in it.
