Which would you prefer at a show?

[x2drich2000]

I also prefer to see a price. However, if it is a card I'm really interested in, I will ask the price before making any offer. I just don't feel I should need to hunt down the dealer or feel like I'm inconveniencing them to find out the price. Also, if it is a card from a set I'm not actively collecting, I won't bother asking for a price. But if the price is on the card and reasonable, I might consider it.

99% of the time, if I see no stickers I keep walking.

I like to have some type of starting price to look at.I dont like to make offers on cards with no prices but i have and usually have been happy with the results.

I get why dealers put their prices on the backs of cards (to start conversation and haggling) but I like prices on the front in clear view. That is how I always have my cards for sale in cases. I try to price them realistically to start with also. My motto is usually, some profit is better than no profit and I will almost always negotiate. Just my views....

Stickers are just an absurdly high number where some buyers may need it for that price (not likely), but most are willing to haggle down to where both parties are comfortable in striking a deal, from my experiences at least.

I prefer stickers - and as a seller - if a prospective customer asks me about a certain card and I have room to negotiate I will tell them that right off the bat. It gives the customer and seller a comfort level to start with. I've done this at shows since 1972 when I learned from the best - Frank Nagy and the Detroit Gang.

I price is not marked clearly on the front I will walk by. Taking up too much time to ask the price of cards. With a sticker, you know if the dealer is pricing fairly and in your range. I always sticker my cards. (well, not the card, but the holder!).

I don't mind sticker prices on cards as long as they are reasonable prices. If its a rediculously high price, I probably won't even start a conversation with the card owner. Just like buying a car that is priced too high at a dealership. Seems like a stupid game to play. Price it fairly and it will sell.

I put price stickers on all of my cards, freely stating to prospective buyers that they are meant as a conversation starter. I think marked prices add a comfort level as it sets a ceiling, even if it is a bit on the high side. This is obviously so I have room to come down on price. Kind of a silly game some would say but everyone seems to want to play it.

As a buyer, I prefer marked prices and will normally just walk on by if there are none.

Huge preference for stickers. I am way more likely to linger if I see some numbers, even if they're higher than they should be.
