Heck yes. Will go way way too low, they rise, to price I want.
Will wait until the end of day when the sellers want to get rid of stuff.

I can, but really do not like doing it. Nor do I like having it done to me. Seems like a lot of work for little gain, other than stroking one's ego.

Taowalker, there can be some good stuff, some like new- at garage sales, and in today's times, money is hard to come by, so it is great to be able to negotiate a better price, plus, the sellers expect it, it is a given, so if they don't like it, maybe they should not have a sale, should consign to thrift shop, or donate, or have ad in paper for it, at set price. Just my opinion.

Yes I can see your point Taowalker, on the ego part, I think that is true for some, for me, it is about getting a good deal, spending less! On something I could really use, for less $.

And-I still think that garage-yard sellers for the most part expect this, they seem to know that buyers ARE looking for a good deal, and they want to get it sold too.

I just read what I wrote and it sounds a lot harsher than I meant it to be. I'm not knocking folks who like to dicker prices down or up, but I've known a lot of folks who have been offended when I would tell them a price is firm. Those occasions have reminded me of drinkers I've known who would become offended if I wouldn't drink with them (I don't drink except on very rare occasion, and then just for the taste).

I've often gotten the impression that some people who go to yard sales do so, not so much for the items they can buy, but for the dickering of the price. I don't like doing that, which is why I don't go to yard sales, nor have I ever had one. I name the price I want and if someone doesn't see the same value in in, then they don't have to buy it. I honor their choice in the item's value, and appreciate their honoring mine.

When my ex and I were refurbishing mobile homes and reselling them, we built in "dickering money" because we knew that folks would want to try and talk us down. Usually, they quit dickering at a slightly higher price than we had originally wanted, so we made a bit more. I always thought it was a silly game they played, and it often cost them more than if it hadn't been necessary to deal with. The few times they went below our price, we just froze there and they ended up paying it (with griping and whining, of course).

Dang it, that's not sounding right either. Ever gotten yourself into a hole and the more you try to climb out the deeper you make the hole? I think I'm in one of them now. ~sigh~

I don't take offense to people who like to dicker. I simply don't like doing it myself, and I don't see any sense in it. But that is me and has no reflection on them. I understand that it is fun for some people and I wish them all great enjoyment, as well as savings and profit.

OK, I'm going to shut up now before the walls of this well collapse on me.

NO OFFENSE taken!

I was just trying to explain-too much so I think! I have dug that hole many a time, I think you answered fine! You were not digging that hole!
You are funny!
