<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davidh, post: 2139026, member: 15062&quot;]re the clock:</p><p>When you&#039;re selling at a garage sale or flea market you get in a mindset that you just want to get rid of the stuff so you don&#039;t have to haul it back into the house or load up the car to take it home again.&nbsp; I&#039;ve sold car parts at far less than their value because of those reasons.&nbsp; They were things I had no use for and would let go for any offer.&nbsp; At the last flea market I priced everything and sold a lot before noon.&nbsp; At noon I put up a sign that everything was now half price except one table of stuff that was $5 for the entire table.&nbsp; At the end of the day I had sold a lot of what I started with and threw the rest in the dumpster just so I would&#039;t have do deal with it again.&nbsp; The clock seller may have been in the same mindset.&nbsp; On the other hand, it may have been someone sitting in for the owner and didn&#039;t care about the price one way or the other.&nbsp; I don&#039;t go to sales of this type with the idea of picking up something that I can re-sell later.&nbsp; If it&#039;s not something I need, I pass it up.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, it does seem rather foolish for the clock seller to offer it for less than the value of the coins attached, but he obviously saw it as an old clock, not a handful of coins and his mindset was to get rid of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>re cherrypicking a dealer:</p><p>A dealer is someone who makes a living from dealing in the product he&#039;s selling.&nbsp; He&#039;s expected to know his product.&nbsp; If he mis-labels something that&#039;s his problem.&nbsp; If I see something mislabeled that I don&#039;t want or need I&#039;ll make a comment to the dealer and let him do with it as he want.&nbsp;&nbsp; If it&#039;s something I need or want, I&#039;ll buy it without comment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
