<p>[QUOTE="nickelman, post: 2137161, member: 4633"]So am I supposed to offer sellers more than what they are asking on everything or just this because it is coin related? There are all types of people who hold yard sales for all types of reasons. This sellers mentality was, I just want to get rid of this stuff. Everything we bought from him and everything else he was selling was priced like this. This is not the best deal I ever recieved at a yard sale, but I think the only time I have purchased actual coins. </p><p> Our goal was to pick up baby items (carridge, play pen, car seat, etc...) so our daughter does not need to drag all that stuff with her when they visit. Should I have said no I'll pay you $30, $40 or whatever for that playpen instead of the $10 he asked? Saw many other people selling same type stuff for much more!</p><p> Once I picked up a box at a yard sale marked "Free" had several USB hubs an assortment of cables and some dish network stackers. Needed a USB Hub so figured if I use one and toss every thing else so be it. Sold the Stackers for over $150.00. Once walked up to a yard sale and as I was coming up the driveway glanced at a box and the seller said $10 for the whole box, so looked and it was a set of tail lights and some other car parts, tok them home put the the tail lights on ebay for $75 for right set and $75 for the left set, sold almost as soon as I listed and shipped out that day! Bought a box of 16 Dansco cello wrapped Dansco albums for $3, seller said $3 per box of books, asked about tese and he said they fit in a box so $3, sold them for $15 each and am still using 2 of them. So what is the difference in these cases or am I just an overall evil ruthless theft?</p><p> The purpose of going to yard sales is to pick up things for pennies on the dollar! The only thing that supprised me was it was obvious that it had $2.30 face value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
