Overpriced Flea Markets & Yardsales

This past weekend I visited about a dozen or so yardsales/garagesales/flea markets. For the most part I saw items for sale for $1 or so. However, it amazes me when I pull up to a yardsale and see everything tagged. Once I see these yardsales I know I am not going to buy anything there. The owners seem to want outrages prices on their products they are selling. People who go to yardsales do not intend to pay retail. Just because you paid $10 for it in new condition, does not mean it is worth $8 in used condition. If you have stuff you truly want to get rid of, than you must price it to sell. If you want to try to get full value or what you perceive is a "fair" price, then put it up on eBay.
