What a bunch of pussies. "Oh I don't buy because they don't have prices, boo hoo." If he says don't bother low balling, you tell him without knowing his asking price to compare, all you can offer is X dollars. He can say yes, no or you can actually discuss price. The items are only worth what someone is willing to pay and you're the one buyer at that moment.

Thanks for this post!! I was under the impression I was doing something "wrong" by not posting prices

Not a big deal. You should already know what the value of the item is anyways.
It happens at Yard Sales all the time. The whole point of going to a flea market is to get the best deal you can. What if you buy something that you know is worth more then paying for it? Are you going to tell the seller that they got hosed? Give them what it's worth? No. You're going to take the price offered. In this case the seller is, in a way, protecting himself from that. He's putting the buyer on the spot to come up with a fair price. If it's close enough he'll sell it. It's like a reserve auction on EBay, the seller has a price they think is fair. If the buyer wants the item bad enough they could give a high price, the seller makes money. No big deal. Go with a lower price, the seller might still give it up because the whole point of being at a flea market is to sell stuff. But the OP's behavior was worse then anything the seller did. |

Right! because real tough guys are all about avoiding pricing the trash found at the bottom of boxes won in storage auctions.
Not wrong, but it's a turn-off for many. Especially with the challenge given the OP that he better not lowball at a swap-meet of all places.....

If you have to ask, then you can't afford it
I'm with you on this one. I don't have time to haggle. I just want to know the price.

Putting prices is like pics.
Pics or it didn't happened. If i see an affordable price, i'll ask. If there's nothing listed then i'm passing by. .
