Input from April Livingston at Millhollow Thrift in Crowfield: "Pricing the Tuesday donations. Our rules: Excellent is 100 percent of base, Good is 80 percent, Fair is 50 percent (chips, small holes, visible wear), and Poor goes to the salvage bin. Round to the nearest 50 cents. We do not sell used helmets, car seats, or cribs, those get pulled. Anything over $25 goes to Ariel Mack for a second look before it gets tagged. 1. Avocado green Dazey ice crusher, plugged in and it crushes ice, scuffs on the base, no cracks. Our base for a working one is $24. 2. Six cobalt blue Hazel-Atlas juice glasses. Five are clean with no chips. One has a chip on the rim. Base is $3 per glass in excellent shape. 3. Kid's bike helmet, pink, some scratches. 4. Portable manual typewriter, olive green case, carriage sticks and I did not get it to type. Our base for a working portable typewriter is $60. 5. Men's brown leather jacket, size L, nice shape, no stains. 6. Gray cable knit sweater, pilling and a small hole at one cuff. Base for sweaters is $8."

AFTER · what the skill produced

Pricing for Tuesday donations, Millhollow Thrift

Dazey ice crusher, avocado green
Tier: Good (works, scuffs on the base, no cracks)
Math: $24.00 x 80% = $19.20, rounded to $19.00
Tag price: $19.00
Six cobalt blue Hazel-Atlas juice glasses (brand as given in your notes)
Five glasses: Excellent (clean, no chips). $3.00 x 100% = $3.00 each, 5 x $3.00 = $15.00
One glass: Fair (chip on the rim). $3.00 x 50% = $1.50
Set total: $15.00 + $1.50 = $16.50
Tag price: $16.50 for the set of six. Note the chipped glass on the tag.
Kid's bike helmet, pink
Pull, do not price. Used helmets are on your do-not-sell list. Follow your store's rule for where pulled items go. Please confirm the safety and recall rules for your area for helmets and similar items.
Portable manual typewriter, olive green case
Tier: Fair (carriage sticks, did not type when tested)
Math: $60.00 x 50% = $30.00
Tag price: $30.00
Flag: Over $25, so send to Ariel Mack for a second look before tagging. Notes say the carriage sticks and it did not type, so the tag should say so.
Men's brown leather jacket, size L
No price yet. I need a base price for jackets (see questions).
Gray cable knit sweater
Tier: Fair (pilling and a small hole at one cuff)
Math: $8.00 x 50% = $4.00
Tag price: $4.00

Totals: 4 items priced (items 1, 2, 4, 6), 1 pulled (item 3), 1 waiting on an answer (item 5). Priced total: $19.00 + $16.50 + $30.00 + $4.00 = $69.50.

Questions for the owner

What base price should I use for a men's leather jacket in excellent shape?
Is the jacket brand known? There is no label in the notes, so I left it unconfirmed.
How should the typewriter be tagged, with a "not working" label or another wording? I did not add a store policy for it.

What it does

Turns a photo description and condition notes into a tag price for each item, using the store's own pricing rules. It shows how it got each price, so the owner can check it fast and change it.

Use it when: Use when a thrift store owner or volunteer needs a price for a donated or bought item from a photo and condition notes, such as: price this, what should I tag this at, or price these donations.
