Interesting. I crocheted very fancy angels. The crochet thread was not the cheap, thin stuff usually found at Walmart, but a nice quality brand. But I did not sell these angels cheaply, and no one balked at my prices. I never offered to sell one for less either.
I suppose it is different when you get up into something the size of a quilt, but if I am going to spend my time and effort on something someone asked me to make for pay, and I do a quality job,...then I expect them to pay my price.
I think as a whole, we all sell ourselves too cheaply to start with. Handmades are not less valuable. They are MORE valuable. JMO
