    Question Used Gift bags at a yard sale?

    What do you guys think of used gift bags out in a yardsale? Only ones in really good condition, for say, .50c or 3/$1??

    I have an INSANE amount of wedding ones, and lastnight my cousin gave me 3 bags of baby ones and another bag of Christmas ones. I will use the Christmas bags, but the rest of them, I'll never use and I don't have enough storage for all of them. Would YOU buy nice used gift bags?

    Absolutely! I'm pretty sure you can find a buyer for just about anything at the right price!

    I would probably pay no more than 25 cents though!

    I would buy them, but not for more than 25 cents. If it were me, I would probably put them at 25 cents each, or 5 for $1.

    I would buy them too. You can do the larger ones for .25 cents and the smaller ones for 5/$1. For what it is worth, I always recycle (re-use) my gift bags as long as they are in good condition.

    Garage sales are where the majority of my gift bags have come from. Like everyone else said, $0.25 per bag is roughly what I have paid for them.

    What a great idea to sell that at a garage sale. I;ve never even thought of that! I have tons of baby shower bags from my boys (they are now 10!!) and I use them over and over.....but it seems for every 1 that leaves the house, 2 come in!

    I sold a bunch of misc gift bags on ebay.

    I agree with the price idea of $.25 or 5/$1; I think you'll sell most of them!!
