SHOULD YOU CONTACT US TO ASK FOR A LOWER PRICE?
Being mostly a consignment service, our prices are set by each item's owner. Each collector or former retailer listing merchandise with us is given the option of including a "Make An Offer" tab for buyers to use for their BUY IT NOW listings.
The vast
majority of our long-time, serious collectors and former retailers prefer NOT
to include this option in their listings. They feel this lessens the
value of these very popular collectibles and creates too much of a ?garage sale?
or flea market feel to their listings. They attempt to price their
listings close to the current, fair, market price and prefer not to be
contacted several times for each piece they list with us. Many of our sellers tell us
"If we were wiling to accept a lower price, we would have listed it at
that price".
Our thought is this policy helps preserve the value and collectibility of each beloved piece in our collections and the long-term value of all Department 56 villages.
