Garage Sales: Making a Loss
In the vast majority of cases, the selling price of items at a garage sale, no matter how precious they are to you, would not result in a gain that requires you to pay garage sale tax. This is true even if you have a substantial amount of cash in hand.
Although you, like tens of thousands of people who have a garage sale each year, will lose money on selling your everyday items, from the standpoint of federal income taxes, you do not have a loss. No matter how much you originally paid for your P90X workout program, when you sell it, you will likely get a lot less for it than you originally purchased it for.
What if instead, you use eBay, or Amazon? The same principles apply. If you sell an item for more than what you purchased it for, you are required to pay capital gains tax. If you sell it for less, you cannot claim that on your taxes.
