Where do you place your price when selling at knife shows?

Post by TripleF »

I'm going to be attending knife shows as a vendor in the future....wondering where you place your price for each knife?
Do you use stickers?

I store the value in my head, price the knife a bit higher and attempt not to be negotiated below it.

I've bought alot of knives that have price tags with string that is tied around the tang or choil area. No adhesive goo to remove ::tu::

That's how I see most knives in antique shops. I hate trying to get stickers off the things I buy.
Take care and God bless,

My brain isn't big enough to remember how much I paid for or am asking for each given knife. I use small AVERY adhesive stickers that have the asking price and an inventory number on them that I can refer to. They are not at all hard to remove and often actually fall off on their own. I do not attach them to any wood handles as they can leave an undesirable dark shadow on the area that they cover.

Small pieces of masking tape will remove easily and can be written on with a fine tip Sharpie.

I appreciate the replies fellas. I do. ::handshake::
On my boxes I'll be using 3M blue tape that removes easily and doesn't destroy the package.

Ditto on this one. I use the same brand sticker with a price and the inventory number. The stickers I use are 5/16ths X ½.

Also rubbing alcohol removes sticker residue in about 2 seconds.
