You are required to drop off items and pick up unsold items, otherwise you are not required to attend unless you would like to do some shopping yourself.
How do I know how to price my items?
The most important part of determining a fair price is to assess the items condition. Is it NEW (items never used and in original package), EXCELLENT (items barely used and hard to tell from new, minor surface wear), VERY GOOD (items obviously used with perhaps a few minor defects and minor wear), GOOD (items well worn, several minor but no major defects). After determining the items condition we provide as a guideline and not a rule (you may price your items however you wish) the following: Items in new condition 55-70% of full retail, excellent condition 40-55% of full retail, very good condition 25-40% of full retail, good condition 10-25% of full retail. Other methods include comparison of similar items for sale in local classified ads and searching the internet for comparables that have already sold.
