My plea to Sellers at the National

[Snapolit1]

Please add others. I know there are many.

1. Please have a price sticker on every card. I can't stand walking up to a display case and seeing cards without prices. Even stupid ones are better than no prices. And when I see you pull one out of your . . eh, hat . . . I'm not impressed. Tells me you are not a serious seller or trying to take advantage of people.

2. Don't get ticked off when I say "I'm just looking. . ." That's what potential buyers say sometimes. Doesn't mean I'm not also buying.

That price sticker should be on front too.

or when they say let me check the latest comps lol

Automatic walk by for me. No price, I don't bother looking.

I don't mind not seeing a price. If I'm interested I will ask them.

My wife just doesn't get why I work so hard to get a price on everything -- it's so much easier to turn a deal around if you have a price on everything.

Unfortunately, thieves have a better target to try and steal the most expensive items.

When I walk around at shows, I rarely stop at booths/tables when the items carry no price, unless they are as rare as can be. Then I really want to know their price.

That being said, I may have two showcases where all of the items only have prices on their backs -- prices on their fronts detract from the visual beauty of these items. We will see. I haven't decided yet.

Agree 110%. If I walk by a table with no pricing, I just keep walking.

My time at shows is usually limited. The National is a huge show. I don't waste my time at tables where things are not priced. I skip the tables without prices, just like I skip the tables with modern and Pokemon cards.

If I went to a grocery store and the items were not priced I would leave and go somewhere else.

If you have not been to a national you just dont know! Some booths can be insanely crowded…there are so many tables just making 1 lab takes hours and hours and is tiring. And while I understand the fluidity of prices and the difficulty of pricing items… as has been stated it’s quite annoying asking for a number of prices on items with none priced and it takes the dealer forever to figure out what they want to charge you.

I also like when the dealers responds, "Let me look at my notes to see what I have into it". Funny as hell. beer chug.gif

It's also funny as hell when buyers think they're the only ones deserving of the best deal possible.

I agree one hundred percent on having things priced in customer view.

But one negative from this that was on full display last year in Chicago was:

"Hey Bro one of these ended last night for $6 less than your price (on a $500 plus card). Don't you pay attention to comps???"

Bwhahahhahahahaha........tell them that Ebay then tacked on Sales tax and shipping fees......

The last show that my son and I set up at I would say that 95%+ of the people at the show had their phones out at every table looking at comp pricing. If your cards are not priced near the comp pricing, they moved along quickly. Our cards were all priced on the front of the cards. We price our cards around 10% below comps on most cards.

If I go, give me a shout if you're meeting me for dinner some night after the show. beer chug.gifbeer chug.gifbeer chug.gifbeer chug.gifbeer chug.gif

If that was actually the case I might have just turned around and not even answered...
