So, how was your weekend?

8. What price an item sells for should have no

relationship to the price you paid for it. I find a wide range of prices on the same thing in the malls. One time I had to listen to a lady complain about the differences, or range of prices, on some glass in the same booth, the bowls were all exactly the same, yet the prices on them varied by 50%. I might see 20 slaw cutters in the mall and priced from $10 to $50. Guess which ones sell the fastest? If your item is rare and the only one for miles around you can sell it at a retail price or even higher. If there are tons on them on the shelves, I'd suggest going at least a dollar lower than all the rest. The last couple of years blue/green pint fruit jars were a hot item. I couldn't tell you how many customers would have me carry a dozen up to the counter and then come up with a dozen more a ask me to take the others back because they found the same ones for a dollar cheaper. Also, dealers selling them for $8/jar would almost have to buy all the ones selling for $4. I'd say 50% of my sales are to dealers and pickers. Look on Ebay at "sold" items and then look at all the current listings at "buy it now" that are priced higher that don't sell.
