• Clothes: $1–$5
• Books: $1–$2
• Small furniture: price to move, not to store

Pro Tips

When Items Aren't Selling: Go Free

If items aren't selling at your price, don't wait — mark them FREE to attract quick pickups. Free items on Stooplify get claimed fast, especially furniture, books, and baby gear. This is especially useful at the end of the day when you want to clear out. Post a Freebie listing and let neighbors grab what's left.
