<p>[QUOTE="pearlsnblume, post: 10213132, member: 141"]When I go to yard or garage sales, or even some estate sales, they print out the ebay auction to show it to us. When I see that, I usually take a quick look and leave. No point telling this local yocal that those are listed prices and not sold prices and those who attend sales are not looking to pay retail prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>Case in point, a few summers ago, I went to a local garage sale. I picked up an item where there was a high price on it with a sticker. I held it in my hand as I walked around the tables. Then I came upon an old fashioned restaurant sugar bowl with the flip top lid. This had no price on it. I went to the person running the sale and asked them how much for the sugar bowl. I believe they said $5. I put down the other item and the lady asked me why I was not buying both. I just said, I like this better, paid and left.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
