[Jewelry making - Article 00041] - [Orchid] Using price tags at retail craft shows

    All, I am doing my first retail craft show in New York City this
    weekend at the Armory.  I usually put prices on everything I have in
    the cases (I use those little, black price cubes).  Sometimes it
    seems to make a difference with buyers, sometimes it doesn't.  

    However, at this show I am worried about security.  As much as I
    want to make it easy for shoppers, I don't want to make it easy for
    bad guys.  

    What do you all think?  Am I asking for trouble by putting out
    prices on everything? Am I being too concerned about security in
    this manner?  I will have only one, fairly inexperienced assistant. 
    My work sells for between $875.00 to $13,000.  The average price of
    my work averages around $2,000 but I have some items for as low as
    $195.00, quite a range.
