What is fair for workouts?

Good morning everyone!! I am desperately trying to get some cash so I can take my kiddos to the zoo next weekend, I am shameful when it comes to hanging on to most of my workouts, but I am wanting to list my bar method designer sculpting/ fat free box set, and classical stretch full body/athletes intense stretch on yayas, so I can sell them to make some money for this zoo trip , what is fair and reasonable to sell these for? Obviously I want to make as much money as sensibly possible for them so I will have more for the zoo trip I love being home with the kiddos and the baby, but dang, I sure do hate being so broke all the time, lol....

Whenever I have sold dvds, I always do a check on Ebay for the completed listings for the same item and note the averages that the item sold for and base my price accordingly.

That's what I did when I recently sold a few workouts on Yayas. Just checked around to see what the going price was ebay, amazon and at yayas. My dh thinks half of new is fair for used--but if it's like-new you can probably charge a bit more. Also, you want to price competitvely so your stuff goes fast.

Depends where you decide them. IMO you will get much more money for them on eBay.

Ebay has that Classical Stretch listed for $74,95 new
and those Bar Methods are listed for $60 and $70 used.
If you list them for a more reasonable price and give the option to buy it now, I think you will sell them quickly!

Good luck

If you want cash you probably have to list on your local craiglist. Ah but I see you live in a small town.
Amazon and ebay will charge you a fee when the item is sold.

People buying online generally feel most safe with paypal. You should set up a paypal account as it really does protect you from someone giving you a bad check.

I sell on Amazon and I'm always puzzled by people who sell their DVDs for mere pennies. The shipping costs more. It hardly seems worth it to me. If I have a DVD that is going for an extremely low price I just donate it to my library.

set up a Paypal account. People can transfer money to it for purchases and you can transfer the money to your bank account. Takes about 3 days tho.

There are few Bar Methods that sold recently for $12.99 and maximum $22, some are listed at Amazon used for $20 so you really have to watch your prices daily if you want to get buyers. I remember I sold mine a few years ago for $80 (I think total) and regreted it, rebought them within a month for $10 each lol...new too.

Classical Stretch are hard to come by though, those rarely will you see go up and down.
