Don't forget the store is keeping ½ the price.

No disrespect intended, but that is really irrelevant. If the market will
bear a $75 bowl of average quality and finish, it is not reasonable to ask
$150 for it simply because the store retains 50%. Nor is accepting $37.50
if the turner has more than that 'invested' in his piece. What is
significant is that the turner may not be able to market his turnings
through such a store, unless he's willing to take a loss against what he
believes his work to be worth. The market won't pay more just because the
store wants its cut, and the market ultimately controls the price of such
items.

I once asked a renowned painter what his paintings were worth. His
response: "Only what someone is willing to pay for them."
