Pricing right for markets
Too high, they walk.
Too low, you’re the deal of the day.
Market prices are their own animal. Shoppers haggle, compare you to the table next door, and pay cash for what they can carry. Your personal pricer is set up for exactly that, so the number on the tag is one you can actually get.
Your venue
A flea market table is not eBay. Prices start from what an in-person shopper pays at a market, not the best sold listing with shipping on top.
Your town
A rural Saturday market and a big-city vintage fair are different crowds. It prices for where you are and what sells in your region.
Your speed
Want it gone by noon, or happy to hold out for the right buyer? Set it in your profile once and every price leans that way.
Your buyers
Bargain hunters, collectors, dealers buying to resell. Your crowd changes the number, so you tell it who shops your table.
Your history
Log what things really sold for and it learns how much your buyers haggle you down, then prices with that in mind.

Market mode
A whole market day in four panels
The same app you price with keeps the load, the sales and the booth fee together, so the day adds itself up.
- 1
Load the truck
Pick what is going from your inventory. It becomes the load list: what went out, what sold, what came home.
- 2
Print tags for that load
Everything on the load list, ready to print. Price, description, a QR code for shoppers and a barcode to scan.
- 3
Scan to sell, signal or not
Scan the tag and it rings up at your price. Made a deal? Change it before you confirm. Works in a field with zero bars.
- 4
Close out, drive home
One tap puts everything unsold back in your inventory and locks the day. You know what you took home before you hit the highway.
The drive-home number
“Busy” and “worth it” are not the same thing
Everybody quotes their gross in the parking lot. Close out a market and you get the number that matters: sales, minus what those pieces cost you, minus the booth fee and the gas. Plus how much of the load actually sold, so you know which shows to book again.

Built for folding tables and fairgrounds
The little things that go wrong at four o’clock, in the sun, with a line at your table.
Price by photo
Item, mark or label. Get it named, a range, and the single number to write on the tag, in under 10 seconds.
Price the whole box the night before
Batch mode prices a stack of photos in one go. Free accounts get one sample batch of 10; it is included on Picker and up.
Sells with no signal
Each sale is saved on your phone first and synced when you are back in range. A retry never counts one sale twice.
Every deal on the record
Knock $5 off and the day shows exactly what you gave away in discounts, so you learn how much haggling a show takes.
Lost the tag? Sell it anyway
Find the item by name when a tag is torn or missing. Something that never made the load list still counts.
Booth fee and gas, one tap each
Booth fee, mileage, card fees, supplies. They land in your expenses too, ready for tax time, never counted twice.
No Sunday re-entry
Close out returns what did not sell to your inventory. Remember a cash sale on the drive? Reopen the day and add it.

How to Price Items for a Flea Market
Six habits from vendors who sell out instead of loading back up.
Price for the person at your table
Online sold prices include shipping and a nationwide audience. A market shopper is local, can carry it to the car, and just walked past ten other tables. Start from what an in-person buyer in your area pays.
Leave room to say yes
Most flea market shoppers expect to make an offer. Tag a little above the number you would happily take, so a counter still feels like a win for both of you. If you never haggle, put “firm” on the tag.
Make change easy
Round prices ($5, $10, $25) speed up a busy table and cut down on fumbling for coins. Bundle small stuff: 3 for $10 moves postcards, linens and smalls faster than $3.50 each.
Know your day cost before you go
Booth fee plus the drive is what the day has to earn before it makes you a dollar. A $45 space and 60 miles round trip means the first $80 or so of sales only gets you back to even.
Decide your last-hour prices in advance
Loading something back into the truck costs effort and space. Pick the pieces you would rather sell at a discount than carry home, and know the number before the crowd thins.
Tag everything
A lot of shoppers will not ask the price. They walk on. A tag with a price and a few words (maker, era, size) answers the question for them and makes the number look earned.

Market Vendor Questions
How do I price items for a flea market?
Identify the item first (maker, pattern, era), then price for what a local, in-person buyer pays, not the highest online sale. Leave a little room for offers, use round numbers, and check that the day still covers your booth fee and gas. PocketPrice does the identifying and the local price from one photo, calibrated to your venue, region and how fast you want things to sell.
How much room should I leave for haggling?
It depends on your crowd, but many vendors tag about 10 to 20 percent above the price they would accept. If you log what items actually sell for, PocketPrice learns how much your buyers usually talk you down and takes it into account.
Does it work at a fairground with no cell signal?
Yes, for selling. Sales are saved to your phone first and only cleared once the server confirms them, and your load list is cached on the device, so scanning a tag still pulls the item up with no signal. Pricing a new item by photo and setting up a market need a connection, so price and load before you go.
Is it free to try?
Yes. Your first price check on this page needs no account. A free account adds 15 lookups and one full market, so you can run a whole Saturday in the app before deciding anything. No credit card. Plans start at $4.99 a month, and every plan runs as many markets as you work with no per-event charge and no cut of your sales.
What kinds of markets is it for?
Anything you load a truck for: flea markets, vintage markets, antique shows, craft fairs, swap meets, weekend pop-ups and barn sales. If your day has a load, a space you paid for and a drive home, it fits.
Can I price a whole box before the show?
Yes. Batch mode prices a set of photos in one go, handy the night before a market or after buying a box lot. Free accounts get one sample batch of 10 items; batch mode is included on the Picker plan and up.
Is this an appraisal?
No. It is a resale pricing tool for deciding what to write on a price tag. For insurance or estate valuations you still need a certified appraiser.
See you Saturday
Price this week’s load tonight, run the market tomorrow, and drive home with the real number.
