you if you’re selling things, you really want to get rid of them, and make SOME money, so:

for food related things: sell them for about $1 (it doesn’t seem like a lot to the buyer, but in reality, to make a cookie, it takes less then $0.50
a bag of chips is actually $0.33, but you can sell it for $0.50: you added a little on for profit, but not too much that they would rather buy it from somewhere else.
you can also sell drinks like soda, lemonade, bottled water– you can sell it for $0.50 when in reality, on sale, soda is for about $0.31 @ jewel’s.

while talking so much about $0.50, you will need a lot of quarters for change–go to a bank/ walk into a store to see if you can get change. if not, see if you can sell your items for $1 instead.

if you have friends that work in a restaurant, see if they can get you some things wholesale–it is so cheap, it’s just very helpful (restaurant depot is very cheap, but you need to be a member/ have the membership card to get in, meaning someone has a restaurant business license, and you have permission to use the card)

you can also try: sam’s club (they have a membership fee), costco, ect. where they don’t pad on prices so they can make money.

you can sell at:
public places (local pool, parkin lot of somewhere, in a park)
door to door
in a school –students are okay with spending money esp. since they don’t think about the fact that it’s actually cheaper elsewhere if you do the math. do it in the cafeteria, when they come there for food anyway, esp. since cafeteria food is bad.
train stations
busy streets (like in downtown)
