It's partly in the way you 'package' stuff for the garage sale. I was amazaed at what DID sell at mine.

I had several pieces of plastic deer fencing to put around landscaping. I rolled them up into one big roll and asked $3 for it. It sold to the husband, wife protesting.

I also sold about 15 unused pencils i wrapped up in a rubber band for a $1. Granted, not big bucks, but sometimes stuff you wouldn't think had any value for someone actually does. I also sold a roll of very thin copper wire to someone for $2. And i actually sold a small hairbrush, again for $1.

I think if you price it that low, people will buy cus they figure no harm lost, but if you price things higher, they start weighing whether they really need something and often they decide they don't.
