Price things to GET RID OF THEM. You have already said that you are trying to "get rid of a bunch of crap." Since you're getting rid of it, any price is worth it. You're basically letting people pay you to take away your trash or goodwill items.
Don't overprice stuff but at the same time make sure you leave enough room for the inevitable person who thinks they are the king/queen of haggling. Some people see a garage sale as if it were some kind of Hollywood style Middle-Eastern market.
Don't let people steal from you. Arrange your stuff so that people can't just take off with it.
Be prepared for "early birds." I hate early birds. These are the people who show up half an hour BEFORE your posted time and start going through stuff before it's even out. I had one woman knock on my door at 5:30 in the morning (I was just getting up) and the signs and ads said the sale starts at 7 ... 7!. I asked her to leave and not come back (I know--it's bad salesmanship--but I was really pissed).
