Sell wholesale. An example of an easy method of pricing rummage sale infant clothing is to offer all of the zero- to six-month-size socks for five dollars. If you have 20 pairs of socks marked for 50 cents each, buying the whole lot can be a good deal for customers as well as netting you some cash. This is an especially effective technique toward the end of a sale when you have items that you want to get rid of.

Label your clothing. You can attach adhesive price tags to individual items or make cardboard signs that pertain to a group of items. Either way, this will save you the time and effort of repeatedly answering questions concerning pricing.
