How the heck do you price your clothes??

I decided to consign some of Trey's old clothes. There is a consignment sale coming up in March that i have signed up for, called "Mom2Mom" (from what i can tell, it's just like JBF).

I cant figure out what to price my stuff at! I had a yard sale a few weeks ago, and the only clothes that sold were the ones i prices at 25 cents. I priced a lot of the name brand stuff (like OshKosh overalls, TCP jeans, Gap jeans, etc) for $2 - which i thought was cheap - and nothing sold. These clothes are like new and mostly name brand...i was pricing them cheap, just to get rid of them and not a single item priced over 25 cents sold.

I plan on going back through my clothes this weekend and just picking out the really nice, name brand clothes and pricing them for the Mom2Mom sale, but i dont want to over price them and have nothing sell

For those of you who have done this before - give me some examples of how you priced your clothes

At JBF, they say if you can't sell it at $3 minimum, then you need to make it a set (put a matching shirt and pants together) or donate it.

Everything I put in is $3-8ish??? maybe. 100% of my things I allow to go 1/2 off on the last day. I always have 300+ items in a sale and walk away with everything sold except for 10 or less things.

The sale this month will be a smaller one for me. Right now, I'm up to 179 items.

I don't have experience at selling at consignment sales, but just wanted to comment that I think you're more likely to sell for more $$ at a consignment sale rather than a yard sale. When I shop consignment sales, things are usually in the $5 - $8 range. I'll usually wait til 1/2 off day, though.
