    Question Garage Sale Help!

    I am not new to having or shopping a garage sale. The one that I am having next month is going to be different. We are going to be selling a ton of Christmas stuff. My inlaws have decided that they need to simplify...big time. These are people who have always been very over the top and now they want to scale down. Yesterday they packed up a truck and a car to the hilt with Christmas decorations for us to sell. They just want to get rid of it and want us to keep the money!! It'll be a great help to us and them in turn also.

    My problem falls that I know how to price household stuff and clothes, but I have no idea about this type of stuff. I was hoping you guys could give me opinions on some of these hard to price items as I find them...any help is truly appreciated.

    My first item is unbreakable Christmas Tree ornaments...I was able to fit 15 to a gallon zip bag and so far I've got 10 bags of them. How much would you sell the bags for?

    Can you post a pic? I'm having trouble picturing exactly what is in the bag. Are they wood, cloth, plastic? If they are the kind that look kind of homemade, I'd say $5-7/bag, knowing that people will haggle.
