A Gardeners Forum Forums Members History Forum Life 2005 HELP....

Okay, I need some help here...I have decided to put some of my plants in the yard sale tomorrow I have 2 very large Peace lily's...they are not quite shoulder high from the floor (that is pot & all) and they are in big pots. I also have an airplane plant (spider plant) that is really big with a ton of baby shoots off of it. What should I charge for them? I don't have a clue how to price plants! I am also going to take some of the babies off my airplane plant and stick them in some babyfood containers and sell them for .25 each...I just don't have a clue what to charge for the big guys!

Vanessa you know these plants are not cheap at a store I would ask $30.00 for the Peace lillies and probably $25.00 for the airplane plant if you see thats too much you can always come down. Just don't ask them to make an offer unless you want to be insulted last time we did that we were ask to take $0.50 cents for a 16 foot folding ladder. I still have the ladder

Bless your heart Vanessa.I'm feelin' your pain.

Your plants sound wonderful,and I agree with Jimmy.
That is a very reasonable price(a steal).
May I make a suggestion?

Next to the price, write "firm."On the last day of your sale ,if they are not gone,put a slash mark through it.
I wouldn't take any less than 5 dollars off.
That really is a good deal for such large plants.

Thanks guys! I got em out there! We will see how it goes! As much as I hate to part with my plants...I will make some serious money if they sell. I have 21 of the little spider starts..they are SO cute...I wanna buy some...OOPS...no I don't...I could easily make up about 60 more...I hope somebody else thinks they are cute!

Just wanted to let you all know how GOOD you are...just had my friend that works at our local nurdery stop by...she said those were EXCELLENT prices (she also said the plants looked really GOOD ) I told her that I consulted with the PROS to get a price.....

Vanessa glad the prices were right it was just what I thought they were worth going by prices I have seen around here. Pros here that Duckie wee's pros. Uh Vanessa whats a pro? :rolleyes: Also pro what? I have never been called that before. I been called plenty other names but pros not one of them I know of.

PRO~fessionals! Cream of the Crop...top notch ...better than the BEST!

That would be you guys!

That where they grow baby nerds?

How much you sellin your spider starts for Ness? How much for shipping?

Uh..Mary Mary quite contrary...H-E-L-L-O...did you catch the part where...I HAVEN'T SLEPT IN 2 DAYS???? (not to mention bunking my head Uhh...how many would you like???????

wait, wait... so you're saying $1 for a bunch? You're cheap! Count me in!

Do you take visa/mastercard/american express? No? Good because I couldn't use em anyway I'll send you a check? hmmm may be sneaky cash...

I'll PM you!

Err...I meant, the plants would just be $1, but with shipping its $5. I got ya...just didn't sound like I understood there -- now who sounds like they haven't gotten sleep? And I HAVE - isn't that scary?

Babies...one of te mother plants...peace lilies

Vanessa...did you sell all the spider plant babies???

If you have any left I want some!
I don't have the striped ones!

Cindy Sue

Vanessa, count me in too.....if you don't sell them and you want some extra money I'll take a couple of them....Only thing is I leave for vacation on Monday and don't come back until Saturday......

I only have about 150 spider babies! Just let me know how many you want!

vanessa, i am resizing the one pic and fixing it. your baby ideas are great! i'll have to do that at my next yard sale.

Thanks Jiffy...I had resized them in photobucket before posting...but for some reason it was still big...sorry, I was in a hurry...

you? in a hurry? never! not a problme at all. i don't mind doing it for you 'cause you almost never need it done!

That was sweet Ms. Jiff!

VANESSA!! I want spider babies too!! Sooo cute!! Let me know if you have any left..

Meg

Well, believe it or not....as well as the sale has done so far...not one plant has sold! Someone told me yesterday that people don't buy plants this time of the year... ...my reply was.."SHHHH...don't tell my Garden Helper friends...we think you are suppose to buy plants all year LONG!!"

Anybody wanting spider babies...make sure to PM your address to me so I can get to work on it!

We are.....aren't we?

You have my address...right?
My money is on the way to you already.

I tell ya what...a stamp is the best deal in town!
I mean, I can put something in an envelope, put a measley 37 cent stamp on it, walk out to the mailbox and put the flag up and some guy stops and picks it up and takes it across the country for me...for just 37 cents!

You can't beat that at Wal-Mart!
