It's the old "slippery slope", Kate...
Value is what someone with the money in hand will pay for it...
Price is what you want to get for your creativity...
Sometimes, you get lucky and value and price are the same....
** You have a good point there.

I don't think ART should be priced by your time and materials, because
they're
not a factor..
** Absolutely right. It took me three weeks working all day every day to
make hers.

I've have folks ask how long a bowl took to make..
2 of the answers I usually give, depending on the way they ask, a
60 years, if you don't count growing the tree...
A lot longer than it took them to make your plasma TV..
** Love it!

A couple of things to consider:
If this is a hobby that you enjoy, any sale that covers your expenses and
maybe
buys a tool or 2 is great...
Sometimes selling at cost or even less to the right person is great
advertising...
Will the "fella" show it to people with an appreciation for your work?
Can you make a "deal" with him to not disclose the price that he paid?
** I seriously doubt that he would be a good source of advertising, but then
again, you just never know.
I'll have a speak to with him - IF - I decide to make him a box.

IMO, a box or 2 in the living rooms or offices of the right folks will be
LOTS
cheaper than most forms of advertising...

** Hmmmmmmmmm..... good point.

Thanks Mac
