The people that don't price their items are only hurting themselves because there are a lot of people like me who will walk off empty handed and head to another sale. I was never one to ask someone to come down on their price but my sister does if she thinks the price is too high and usually gets it cheaper.<br /><br />I've never heard of your lettering set so don't have a clue how much it's worth. Might be worth a fortune to you and not worth a nickel to someone else.<br /><br />Suggestions? If it were me having a sale I'd make sure men's junk (oops I mean treasures, hahaha)is easily seen cause men won't browse around like women will. Price stuff cheap everybody likes a bargain and if the stuff is priced too high it's just gonna sit there. Gary has a "clean out" every once in awhile to get rid of stuff he no longer needs or has no use for but might be of use to someone else..he'll put stuff out on the bank by the road and put a "FREE" sign in front of it..we get a lot of pleasure seeing how fast the stuff disappears..just thought you might want to consider doing that with the stuff you have left over from the sale, it sure beats hauling it somewhere to donate or eventually winding up taking it to the dump. <br /><br />Love ya!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09039342776866311508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-19028953204933936842012-06-21T17:32:04.017-04:002012-06-21T17:32:04.017-04:00I don't really like tag sales, but damn, the s...I don't really like tag sales, but damn, the stuff should at least be priced. It would appear that the prices change according to how interested you look in the item, or how much money it seems to be worth to you?

Those taillights are from Packard - they were used on the '56 Clippers and also on the '57 & '58 "Packardbakers".

I always end up donating, instead. the hubby and I hit a neighborhood sale last week, though and I walked away with all kinds of goodies for less than $1. There was a curio cabinet I wanted for $15, but we couldn't figure out how to get it home. It was too heavy.

I advertised all our sales on Craigslist and I would have people emailing me if this or that was still available, price of things (like when I was selling a washer or a guitar). We do the same, put up signs; we live off a major street so its easy to advertise. <br /><br />I think you guys will do great. Be realistic with the prices because if someone can get something cheaper off of eBAY they'll get it there even if you paid lots of money for something. <br /><br />Have plenty of change available :)<br /><br />I'm thinking what is the most unusual thing I have ever seen at a sell and I'm drawing a blank right now. <br /><br />Looking forward to hearing how successful your sale is!<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-46841436208342972522012-06-20T23:25:07.733-04:002012-06-20T23:25:07.733-04:00All I can say is that I will say a little prayer f...All I can say is that I will say a little prayer for you this weekend.

It was near Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio and in the house of an Army officer. It touched me to the heart to see his uniforms hanging in the closet just the way he left them and collections he had from serving the Military overseas.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007728342316668058noreply@blogger.com
