On Haggling

This beautiful raw garnet is NOT for sale.

I have been selling at the Barnyard flea market for a few years and now I have moved to the Spartanburg flea market due to my lust for an inside space with walls and a roof. I am no spring chicken and I greatly enjoy not having to load and unload a bunch of stuff every weekend. I have the best prices around for real stones and that is a fact. I price according to the value balanced with what I paid wholesale, or the amount of sweat I put into digging and cleaning and making. I have to admit that I am not o.k. with disputes about my pricing. I do my own homework and check multiple sources that sell similar things that I do when I set my prices, and I try to beat those sources when I can. If it is a low value thing I have for sale, the price will be quite low. I sell the yard sale stuff at yard sale prices. I sell vintage and antique objects for a reasonable comparative price. If it is a pair of slightly used shoes, those shoes go for $2 or so. If it is a good amethyst pendant, do not expect to get it for $2.  I will sit on my best stones and 100% not sell them at all if I feel they are being disrespected. I have no problem at all hoarding them until I croak, then passing them on to my children and grandchildren. You will definitely not see any of my large specimens at the flea market shop. I am not hauling $300 crystals out there to listen to somebody offer me $20.  My expensive and gorgeous specimens are staying in my family, no negotiation possible, and I will eat wild weeds and beans if I have to without a qualm. If you are the sort to walk into my shop and try to get a cheap thing for cheaper, or a really good stone for the cost of a fake(and I positively abhor fakes) or cheaper stone, then you may get what you want but be assured, you are walking out of there cursed. Yes, I can do that and I am not at all ashamed nor afraid of facing any cosmic consequences. Only tame witches fear that sort of thing, and I have fought with too many real devils to ever be tame. On the other hand, if I happen to like what I read in you, you might walk out of my shop with something really good as a present. That is how I am. So, if you have been advised it is best to haggle at flea markets, be aware that in my territory this strategy promotes a very active and potent dose of ill will and it would be best for you to not enter my shop at all.
