I'm having my very first yard sale tomorrow. I am a little curious about how you ladies would price things though? I have baby/toddler and adult clothing. Toys,strollers,tv's,baby gear,ride on toys and electronics. Everything is in gently used condition. I was thinking about 0.50 for clothing and dvds. Toys range but nothing over $2. Tv's $10 strollers $10 and kids outdoor toys $5. Do these prices seem okay?

I'd say if you've got some nice outfits there, $1 to $3 per outfit.  DVDs, $1 to $2.  I think the other prices are fine.

I agree with this you cant start so low because u will not make nothing then... when hubby and i did our first yardsale we made 1200.00 was a great day... Best of Luck that money comes handy...   :)

Those seem a little cheap, IMO. Depending on the kind of stroller I may make it $20 (if an infant stroller). I would make clothes and tv $1-$4 depending on what it is.

Also, remember people will try to  bargain and get prices lower.

I agree and people will ask if you will take less on items so don't start to low. Good luck!
