I hate it when people don’t put prices on their stuff. I know if I ask outrageous price so I don’t even ask. Just walk on.
If they can't price it? I can't afford it.
My prices are so LOW its almost embarrassing.Nuttin is tree fitty, gar un tee. Prices so low its nearly FREE.
AMEN!
I just had an idea. On Saturday, for fun, for those with tables without price tags I'm going to stand there and ask, "How much do you want for that?" "Ok, how about that?" "And that?"
And EVERYTHING ON THEIR TABLE. Watch me.
I'mma turn this into an ODT Olympic sport!
Awww heck ! I may go just for that fun ! 🤩
I will walk a table behind you and do the same thing to them right after you do it !! That will really peeve them off ! Lol
Seriously? It ticks you off the way people do a show? Sorry! Hope you have a good time.
What about "is that still available"?
If you are referring to me, YES it ticks me off.
In fact, it sends me into a gran mal seizure (no offense
41mag
).If you don't price your stuff it means I have to ask. Why would I ask unless I had some interest?
This puts the potential buyer at a disadvantage. Think of the typical neckbeard interaction: "What are you selling your Glock for?" "What are you offering?" asks the seller. These sellers are MASTER NEGOTIATORS.
Or, the seller is just damn lazy. You paid for a table, took the time to haul all your junk to the Civic Center, yet you don't make the effort to price your stuff?
Hey, don't want to give an advantage to the seller 3 tables down! If you advertise a price on you precious Glock 17 at say, $399, this means dude 3 tables down can mark his (or not mark it at all) at $398 - clearly giving him an advantage over you.
Once again, a tactic used by MASTER NEGOTIATORS! You must not give an advantage to the seller 3 tables down by showing a price!
And thanks, I will try to have a good time at the show. I had booths for the first two shows and all my junk had a price tag on it so folks didn't have to ask. Who knows, maybe I lost sales due to the MASTER NEGOTIATOR 3 tables down asking a penny less for an identical item. I still had a good time.
Whew - this was clearly building up inside me over the years. Thanks for letting me vent. That felt great. I need a cigarette.
You know. If you have to ask, it's probably too much......
