Whilst I see where you are coming from Gary it's not that simple.

Punters hat on ;
I, for one hate having to ask how much is this, how much is that.

Traders hat on ;
Many traders do not use the "easy peel off" labels because too many dishonest people swop labels round.

Any practical alternative's anyone ?

All this talk of what retailers & used stock dealers should/should not do regards pricing makes me wonder how the seller can possibly win.

Maybe those that don't want any labeling/pricing on the box can tell me how to price individual items then ?

We try to place labels where they do not leave marks when removed, but even the "peel off" ones can sometimes leave some signs when they have been on the box for a while.

Regarding the "N" gauge clear plastic boxes, I have bought used stock & found some of the labels just will not come off, even using a variety of things (including specialised label removing products).

Of course, we could have a complete printed price list of the stock, computerised till (EPoS) use the bar codes for sales - at a hectic show ! That would work 100% - would'nt sell a lot at all though, due to the time it would take.

Maybe just a little more though is required by the placing of & type of labels.

Sorry collectors, I think you will have to stick to the specialised sales & the likes of Vectris to source your box bound purchases.
