Asking prices initiates’ conversation, conversation leads to relationships, relationships lead to friends... It’s nice to have relationships with dealers, sometimes you’ll find you get a BETTER deal.. If you're seriously interested ask the prices.. Seems simple to me?

same can be said: listing prices initiates interest, interest leads to negotiation, negotiation leads to sales... its nice to have sales... if you're serious about selling, you would list a price... seems simple to me?

I personally don't see a problem with either method. I like this stuff too much, to go through all the effort of getting to a show and then walking away from something I like because, it wasn't priced. Who am I, really hurting?
If, I take the time to stop and ask, it's because I want to buy an item. The only time I walk away...is when I'm patiently waiting for my turn to speak with a vendor. The vendor is standing their talking to someone they know about something trivial like what they ate the night before and ignoring a potential buyer. That's when I usually throw out a few choice profanities and walk away. Are they not there to sell? Plenty of time to socialize between sales. Buyers and sellers should mutually respect each others time.
When, I sell items to customers, I always leave the customer with the impression that I appreciate their business and will work hard to earn their return business.

glad you mentioned it Tom... this is the best $50 you can ever spend on a show: (and for the record, I was pulling it around with one 24" sign on it, lol... but I wish there was a lot more on it!) http://www.harborfreight.com/24-in-x-36-in-folding-platform-truck-68894.html

ever thought that price tags fall of? Ever thought that stickers mess up tin signs? I do not price because I do not want to ruin the condition of an item weather it is tin, paper, glass, or porcelain. Thought we were trying to preserve items not ruin them to please other people

my bad... just trying to give a little buyers' feedback. in reality, a good majority of my buys came from un-priced vendors.
back to pictures... wasn't there a group picture? I missed it, but would like to see it!

So why exactly are you trying to stir things up? Life has enough drama without needless more being created.
