When Community Cycles started charging real prices for used parts our revenue from used parts went up over $20k in one year. Not expensive, just what the parts are worth. We don't tag them, but the same experienced person checks you out and it is actually he who started the charge real prices policy. Of course if someone needs help they can be charged less. But most people, especially long time customers were happy to be paying more & said they were glad to see us charging it. You don't do anyone any favors if you run on such a low profit margin that you can't keep staff or even stay in business.

A Velocity, unless the item is off a higher-end group, everything goes in the $5 an item bins. Higher end items are placed in the display case and if a price isn't marked, when the part is asked about someone will get a phone call to get a price.
The $5 is often adjusted for those in need.

Hi there!
We're trying to figure out a way to streamline our pricing a little bit better and ease the process of getting incoming items up on the shelf. Do you have any suggestions or tips for this?? We've been in operation for 3 years and there are still untagged items all the time.
Thanks for any feedback!
