A tariff imposed on Japanese
products this past week is causing
Columbians to "spend now" for
things they were eventually going
to buy later, a Columbia
salesmanagcr said.
News of rising nrices has
brought procrastinating
customers in to buy before the effect
reaches Columbia, said Circuit
City super-store
salesmanagcr Bill Dempsy.
On Friday, President Reagan
doubled the import prices of four
types of Japanese goods in reaction
against Japanese manufac?
turers for alleged violations of a
! computer-chip agreement.

confirmed the tariffs are
designed to inflict the most
damage on those companies,
while minimizing any harm done
to firms not directly responsible.
However, five Japanese
manufacturers of desk-top computers
and two companies that
manufacture power hand tools
who are not connected to the chip

tariff.
Those companies include

Students who want experience
in being entreprenuers, or who
just want to unload some of their
possessions after spring cleaning
can get quick on-hand experience
of actually running a business
and making money.
At the Thieve's Market
Bazaar, students can get ex
periencc on pricing, merchandising,
display and keeping inventory,
while actually selling things
that they no longer want, said
part owner, Linda Scheper.
"It's not an old flea market.
We like to think of it as a yuppie
flea market."
Scheper said only "good quality"
things are allowed to be sold
and the dealers do not "man"
their own tables. The bazaar is
run like a store in which the

Theive's Market staff does the
actual selling.
"We give dealers a number to
indentify their goods, and if they
want help, we will show them
how to make their goods more
appealing," Scheper said.
"If they have a lot of
glassware, we se' up tables accenting
the placesettings, like in a
department store."
The dealers then fill out an inventory
sheet, and bring the
things to the bazaar on Fridays
where they are coached on
display ideas and pricing
techniques.
"The owner does not stay. In
two weeks he should come by to
pick up the things we did not sell
and his check. It's a no-hassle,
garage-less sale."
