i think the price should always be set by the artist. i've never tried to haggle for art. i've only declined buying something a couple of times because i thought the artist was asking too much, but i think it's an insult to say i'll pay you this much. the artist knows how much time, effort, and materials go into each piece. artists know if they're making great stuff and should charge accordingly. new artists know they can't get top dollar. as an artist's skill increases he can charge more. ben, to me, anything you charge is cheap, cuz your pieces are priceless in the enjoyment they bring. (i guess i'll be paying through the nose when i can score another benzart!) :D
