Absolutely! If I have to dig, I’m going on to the next booth. And put price tags where we can see them and written large enough that if I have to lean over 4 chairs and a table and stuff on that table, that I can still read the tag on that mirror hanging on the wall at the back of the booth. Do NOT hide the tag on the back of the item, so I have to worry about taking it off the hook and possibly dropping it.
The only exception… do NOT put sticky tags or tape on the fronts of books or magazines. Slip a card inside or a write it in pencil on the side flyleaf (if you must.)

I agree. I’ve been asking the dealers at my mall to try to make *everything* for sale…if it’s a piece that is hard to replace, then it’s certainly OK to price it accordingly. In the past I had dealers who would make all the larger items in their booth NFS, and I would watch the customers look at the tag and get ticked. Much better to keep the customers happy, and when those pieces sell, the sure make the check great!!

Ouch. This came up just last weekend in my booth. Since I have no shelving, I needed a large piece with shelves. About 6 months ago, I found a perfect chippy hutch at a reasonable price, so put it in the booth with a pricetag on it: “Not For Sale or $800.” My logic was that if a buyer wants it that badly, they’ll need to pay. The price for me losing a valuable fixture and having to find another dirt-cheap replacement is, yes, 16X what I paid for it. A decorator came in last weekend saying I should change it to “NFS”, but I stuck with the price. In general, I totally agree with you, however; it irks me when a cute but expendable/easily replaceable item isn’t for sale. Another exception I’d make would be a signature piece that makes your booth memorable.

That’s one of the reasons I don’t shop at antique malls more often. Whenever I go it’s just too overwhelming, hoping you don’t knock something over and break it while you’re trying to peek over all the piles and piles of stuff.
