Horrible experience!!! I went to one of Margie’s sales about 6 months ago. As I was walking around looking, the lady running the cash register told me I had to put my items onto the sold table, so I did. When I finished and went to check out, she had to give me prices for some items that weren’t priced. I thought some of the prices were too high so I told her I wasn’t interested in the item. She responded that because I put it on the Sold table, I had to buy it. I told her that didn’t make sense because she made me put the items on the Sold table. She pointed to one of her many signs that said “items on the sold table must be bought” or something to that degree. She wouldn’t allow me to buy any of the items unless I bought all of them since she insisted that I had committed to buying them when I put them on the sold table. So I bought them because I really wanted one of the items.
Fast forward to today. I decided to stop by one more Margie Beegle sales and give them another chance. I really wish I hadn’t. I had a stack of stuff, once again some of it not priced. I intended to carry it around and avoid the sold table, however, as I passed through the room where the lady behind the cash register sat, she told me I had to put my items on the sold table. I responded that I needed prices first. She rudely pointed to a sign that said prices would be given at check out. As I walked towards the sold table, I said that I asked for the prices because the last time she made me buy everything that I had put on the sold table. She responded that I could now get out and leave my items because she would not tolerate liars. I’m not sure what has happened to her in her life to be so rude to people, but whatever it was must have affected her memory, because it wasn’t a lie. Today this company lost a customer, one who loves going to estate sales and one who would have continued to spend money with her had the cashier not been so rude.
I saw this in one of the owners responses to the comments “Follow the rules, ask for explanations, you will have a great time like 99.99999999999% of the shoppers...” I did follow the rules and I did ask for explanations/prices...which resulted in me being called a liar. I also saw that the owner commented that they sell out every weekend. This specific sale had at least 50% left with 30 minutes of the sale to go. So you would think she would want to be nice to paying customers. However, right after I was kicked out, another lady was also kicked out for asking about pricing. Following the rules apparently doesn’t get you any where.
If you are looking for a company to sell your family’s items, I would suggest looking at other companies. I have never been treated so rudely at any estate sale I’ve been. Not to mention it was completely unnecessary. I will for sure be taking my business elsewhere. This company doesn’t even deserve one star.
