naturally Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I think I remember reading a thread here earlier this year about someone who had a yard sale and didn't mark any prices. She said she never would again. What did she do? Why no prices again? Why was it a success? We're hoping to have one in a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I hate yard sales with no prices. One reason is I don't know what value you want for an item. I'm usually shopping with 5-10 dollars cash and I like bargains. I also don't like to haggle on prices. I think it makes more work for the person having the sale as they have to still come up for a price, just not before the sale. I don't mind stickers with a chart or put so much in a bag for this price. Another issue would be multiple people contributing to a sale. Dh would have no clue some of my homeschooling books are worth way more than a typical .50 novel. I have no ideas what some of his items are worth either. I generally won't buy from a sale with no prices, especially if it's busy. I don't want to wait to know if an item is in my price range.

Tap Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 (edited) If there are no prices, I leave a sale. I am not a haggler, I just want to know the price and to leave, either with it or without it. No chit chat please.

Excelsior! Academy Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 :iagree: No prices, no sale. When you ask and the seller says, "Um...I don't know. $0.25 or $0.50." Do you really expect me to answer, "Oh, you priced it way too low. Here is $0.75." Just price the darn thing. If I agree with the value you get a sell. If not I move on. Really. It is that simple!
