Ugh...it IS awful. And frankly I have always underpriced my work...I've been told MANY times that I don't charge enough. But now, it's really sad because at all these local shows I've been seeing people AGONIZE about spending five bucks for a pin. Five bucks! For a handmade pin that is easily worth three time that amount. And they walk away & COME BACK & walk away...it's maddening. Forget about selling masks; people were staring at them whistfully as if they were Monets or something...like I might as well have just had pieces up that had "not for sale" signs on them. What the flip is going on? Are people THAT broke?

I'm not even taking credit cards much...folks aren't using plastic, which is really weird.

*sigh*

And I can't believe you're having trouble too. You sell prints, for crying out loud. I think most of your work is going for less than twenty dollars. HOW is this happening? *cheesed*
