Price stickers make a garage sale faster for everyone: buyers don’t have to ask what everything costs, and you don’t have to remember. Type your prices below and print a full sheet of stickers on standard address labels, or on plain paper you cut apart. You can also print a color price key sign, so a whole table can be priced with colored stickers.

In the print window, set Scale to 100% (or “Actual size”), margins to None, and turn on “Background graphics” for the colors. Print one test page on plain paper and hold it against a label sheet before using your labels.
How to use your price stickers
- Pick your prices. Most garage sales only need a handful of round prices. Our garage sale pricing guide has a price chart and a calculator if you’re not sure what to charge.
- Choose your sheet. Avery 5160 (or any 1″ x 2-5/8″ address label with 30 per sheet) gives big, easy-to-read stickers. Avery 5167 return-address labels (80 per sheet) are better for small items like jewelry and books.
- Print a test page first. Print on plain paper at 100% scale with no margins, then hold it against a label sheet up to a window. If it lines up, print on the labels.
- Price as you set up. Stick labels on as you unpack each box, so nothing goes out on the tables without a price.
How color-coded pricing works
With color-coding, every price gets its own color. Put a colored sticker on each item, and tape the printed price key sign where buyers can see it, such as at the end of each table and at the checkout. It’s the fastest way to price a big sale, and it makes discounts easy: at noon, you can change the key to “all blue stickers half off” without re-pricing anything. The stickers from this maker show the price as well as the color, so shoppers who miss the sign can still read what each item costs.
If you’d rather use plain round dot stickers from an office supply store, print the key sign anyway. Just match the colors on the sign to your dots.
Tips for pricing stickers
- Use masking tape on delicate items. Labels can tear book covers, leave sticky residue on furniture and pull fibers from clothes. Write the price on a strip of painter’s tape instead, or pin a paper tag to clothing. See how to price clothes for a garage sale.
- Add initials for multi-family sales. Type each seller’s initials into the maker and print a sheet for each family. At checkout, peel the stickers off onto a notebook page under each family’s name so everyone gets paid correctly.
- Price in round numbers. Quarters, dollars and fives make change easy. Here’s how much change to have on hand.
- Price bundles, not just items. A “3 for $1” sticker on a bin of paperbacks or toys moves more stuff than single prices.

FAQ
What stickers do I need for garage sale prices?
Any white address labels work, such as Avery 5160 or 8160 (30 per sheet). For small items, use Avery 5167 or 8167 return-address labels (80 per sheet). Colored round dot stickers work if you use a color price key.
Can I print price stickers on regular paper?
Yes. Choose “Plain paper, cut apart” in the maker, cut along the dashed lines and attach each tag with a piece of tape.
Why don’t my stickers line up with the labels?
Your printer is probably scaling the page. In the print window, set Scale to 100% or “Actual size” and margins to None, then print a test page on plain paper.
How do you price items at a garage sale quickly?
Group similar items and price them together, use color-coded stickers with a price key sign, and put “Everything on this table $1” signs on tables of small items.
