MR

I'm not a big fan of the per foot rule either. I do think that cost is a real struggle for almost all sellers. I sometimes would rather give my stuff away to people I know and like, but I think my marriage would end pretty fast. I almost always feel a certain amount of guilt when charging people for stuff. I just remind myself to think about the time invested and what that time is really worth. Time spent doing a craft is often time spent away from family. I also think that people who are uninformed sometimes think if it costs more it must be worth more. I have always been treated more than fair with any TCer I've bought stuff from. I just hope they are making what they need to in order to keep going (mentally as well as financially).
Cheers.
