<p>[QUOTE="Lark, post: 9513354, member: 13605"]My primitives still sell well. I had a code on my price tags. xxx1025. Just random numbers a 10 and what ever after the 10 was my cost. So in the above it was 25 cents. At my garage sales i have left my old tags on and just re price. Then if some one says would you take $10 for this and I see i paid $1 , I reluctantly say yeah sure! I am careful to not put all my good stuff out at one time, Just enough to keep them coming back. I want to move the stuff but not give it away. There is an auction house near by that allows you to reserve tables for your stuff about the size of a twin bed . If you have hanging stuff they hang it on the wall near your table. I had some stuff for years in the store and I marked it way down to the point I was just gong to break even or give it away. Rather than do that I tried the auction . they take 27% but if I gave it away I would make nothing. I actually did much better than I thought and it was better than taking it to the ditch. Somethings went for more than I had them in my garage sale.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
