<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 7709218, member: 36"]Been known to happen here. They also remove prices in hopes of getting a better one. Of course with the Ill Will, the $2.95 sticker was the proper one to begin with rather than the $12.95. They're just trying to get 4x what the item is really worth.</p><p><br /></p><p>The charity thrift I was in today is guilty of that too. They had some "estate" jewelry that's been in the case off and on for over a year. Occasionally a piece sells. One today was picked out by a lady who thought $150 instead of the $300 price tag sounded good. When I left, the necklace was at the counter; she'd abandoned it. They say it's priced below retail, but apparently not low enough. I've told them more than once that the stuff would sell at 2xmetal weight, plus a smidge. "We don't care about what resellers would pay." (talk about ways to limit your sales!)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
