Worry About High Costs of Stuff in Store

Due to economic crisis, people would want to buy inexpensive stuff. I sometimes worry about the rates that i mark on the things that i sell. I couldnt mark it down because i believe in its craftsmanship and durability. Still, it worries me that some may not be able to afford it. What should i assure myself of then?

That's fine, the important thing is that you are selling items honestly. If some people can't afford the prices of your items, it's not your fault. I also do some buying and selling stuffs online, unfortunately, I have some bad experiences like sometimes even though I try to price my items reasonable or even sometimes definitely cheaper than other sellers on that site, some people would still ask if I could them a discount :(.

i think if you wait til stuff goes on sale, you win because stores want to get rid of this season's stuff so they can bring out the next season's stuff (we were at walmart and saw that they were already bringing back to school stuff and cold weather clothing) so they will want to start marking down summer clothing and such.

The more the increase of price of stuff, the lesser amount of stuff, we have to consume and likely the consumption of stuff will go down our minimum need. Probably we are going on the way to extinction.

i think it depends on what you are selling, when it comes to grocery items and cleaning products people may be more frugal in that area. but if it is something like a good mixing bowl or product, i think i would like a good product. but i know people who make sure they have the expensive toilet paper, which i think is ridiculous i am the more frugal one. overall what i mean is there are others who believe some products are worth the extra cash and that depending on what you sell it could be a problem.
