Second, there was a seller who used the pre-priced price tags. Normally that is a good thing. But this seller had stuff priced so high that the pre-priced stickers didn't go up that high. So for a $30 item, she put three $10 stickers on it and we were supposed to do the math and know she wanted $30 for it. For some reason, it really bugs me when sellers do that. Don't cheap out - buy some blank labels.
And lastly there was the seller who didn't go thru what they were selling. They had a big rubbermaid tub of CDs all at $1 each. I rummaged thru them all, picked out a few I wanted and then checked to make sure the CD was in the case. It wasn't. None of them were. All that time wasted. Grrrrrr....
Note to Donna (the recent winner of the Garage Sale America book) - I'm putting the book in the mail today. One thing I didn't notice until now is that the author autographed it (on about the third page in).

the last one is really irritating. why sell items that are not available in the first place? waste of time indeed!
I think your post should say that they did not endear themselves to you.
It's a little funny about having 3 $10.00 stickers for the item...
we sure meet all KINDS out there!!

I went to a church rummage sale recently where they used colored tags on "most" of the items, but then you had to find the actual corresponding price (blue sticker: 50 cents, red sticker 75 cents, etc.) on a chart waaaay across the room, which of course I could not see. Fortunately, the EXTREMELY cute preacher was kind enough to assist this poor blind lady so naturally I bought way more than I needed . . .
Kate - I totally agree with you on that colored sticker fiasco . What a pain. I ranted about that back in May and I think I even wrote about not doing that on the website.
May yardsale pet peeve
