price of items in stores or dealerships question.

JOCCO · Mar 31, 2009

Latly i have seen a lot of items in stores with no price. (till they scan att the counter) Car and other dealerships won't give a price. (you must come in and sat down etc etc). Seems like this is a creud buisness practice, many locals are complaining. I thought it was agaist state law but guess it is not. Any take on this do you see it much? Whay can't they just put a tag on it ie dogfood $5 a bag, new car sticker $15000. Doesn't seem to me its a big deal to do so.

jocco....every new vehicle for sale in the U.S. must display a window sticker with the price. It is Federal Law...it is called a Maroney(sp) label as an outcome of a lawsuit yrs. ago. Where have you gone to a new vehicle dealership and not found a clear new vehicle price sticker on the vehicle ?

Car dealers in Mi rarely have prices on their used cars. Retailers (Walmart Meijers Kmart..) are suppose to price everything with few exceptions. A few years ago Walmart got dinged for noncompliance and had to pay a hefty fine.

In Fl it must be quite different since almost none of the stores have the item priced, just a shelf label

For the stores, customer needs to bring items up to be scanned for price check. Not purchase, just price check.

Repeatedly.

The time wasted on scanning & restocking will soon bring back stickers on the shelf.

Or bring up a cart full and reject every item but one.

I can't stand shelf items not being marked.

In Oregon we only have the stock labels on the shelf not hard to find but sometimes people put things back in the wrong place.
No big deal just takes a few seconds to look down below what you are buying.
All cars have a window sticker that lets people know what is in the car or truck and why one cost twice as much as the other. I wouldn't buy from a dealer who doesn't post the window sticker, just go down the street.

Seldom ever see things priced at parts stores I use. The parts stores tend to price things according to the volume of business I do, or how much they value my busines.

JOCCO · Mar 31, 2009

Yes even a shelf or a flyer stuck up with the price would be helpful.

JOCCO · Mar 31, 2009

Well said!! a lot of folks have been complaining to the managers (self included).

I just leave the item where it is since I figure I'd be just as ashamed of the price as they are

Where, in the original post, did anyone see the word "used" ??? I can't find it.

Jiles · Mar 31, 2009

In stores, I leave it on the check out counter if I don't want it.

In fact if you go back to the original post it says "new car sticker $15000".

My local lawn and garden guy started doing this. No prices on any of the Honda mowers. I will just buy one somewhere else...
