Take a poll and I imagine that you'll find out that most people want to SEE labels on items at garage sales. Why? It saves time and energy. Buyers can always haggle and the price tag gives them a starting point. When I don't see price tags I wonder if the seller makes the price up as the day goes along or on how "wealthy" the buyer looks. Take the right step with your garage sale and label the items you want to move. Do you have a bunch of little items? Bag them and you'll sell more of them. Why? Ten or fifteen items in a bag for a $1.00 looks like a deal and moves your stock. You can bag kids toys, household items, nuts and bolts and anything else that fits in a sandwich or quart size bag.
I'm a fan of the prices being shown. I move on if there is no prices. In my experience in the Northeast, no labels, means they want top dollar. As a buyer at yard sales, will pay fair and reasonable market prices, but no $$ stickers always is a chore for me.
