As Promised, More What to Pay: Common Items

As I said would most likely happen, I have since thought of some more items commonly found at garage sales. Here they are, with reasonable price expectations.

CD's: $1/CD is a fair price.  Be sure to make sure the CD is actually in the case.  You have no idea how common it is to find empty CD cases.  This applies to DVD's as well.

Video Games: This is a rather broad category.  I wouldn't pay more than $0.25 per game for NES generation games unless it's for one of the best games, such as Mario or Sonic.  As for the SNES generation, $0.25 to $1 is fair depending on the game.  For N64 generation, $1/game is fair.  For GameCube/PS2/Xbox, $1-$3/game is fair, again depending on the game.  You don't really see anything for the current generation of consoles (nor do I know anything about them) so I can't really give you a price for these.

Electronics: I admit, this is a rather broad category.  Get electronics for as low as you possibly can.  In my experience, they never work as well as the seller claims.  Certainly never pay more than $10 for something; I would probably never pay more than $5.  I think my next post shall be a discussion of bargaining for electronics.
