    I don't know about jewelry stores, but I think when people see you
    selling your items out of a tent they automatically think they can
    barter. Only you can decide if you are willing to discount.
    Personally, I will discount if the price is already high enough and
    if I really feel the need to sell the piece or the customer is a
    repeat customer and spends alot on my work over time, etc. Often
    times I will pay the tax for the customer as a small discount. But,
    one thing that really makes me mad is when a customer comes into my
    booth and asks me very loudly, so everyone else can hear, if they
    can get a discount. Most times I tell them they are already getting a
    bargain!! All I can say is it's the "Great Economy".
