Unwritten rules...

Re: Unwritten rules...

The whole point of garage and moving sales is to get rid of stuff. Why shouldn't people make lower offers? You don't have to take it.

Because I have prices on it. I don't go to Wal-Mart and ask the checker if they'll take 50 bucks for a game. It's like I said, the way I see it you're already getting the stuff at ridiculously low prices (I had a thing of CD's out, none of them more than a year old, with 75 cents a piece on them. Guy offers me 50. Really, dude? They're like 12 bucks in a store.), just pay what's on the tag.

There's 2 points to a rummage sale, the first is, as you said, to get rid of stuff. And the second is to make money.

I see it more as we're selling you this stuff at ridiculously low prices, stop being a cheap-*** and pay what's on the tag.

Just put up a sign: no negotiations. Usually, owners are just eager to get rid of things he/she is normally going to throw away anyways so any money maid is a plus.

Bingo. Put up a no haggling sign and end of story. Gotta realize the people that are attracted to yard sales-- thrifty/cheap and always looking for the BEST deal.
