I more or less told him to take it or leave it...I couldn't make a profit doing it for any less...WHAT ARE THESE FOLKS THINKING??? And no, I didn't make it for him! He was too cheap to pay an honest price for it...
Ditto - I sold an antique quilt once to a psychiatrist - he thought it was a bit high in price. I bit my tongue to refrain from commenting on how much HIS services cost!!
And yet I have been at craft fairs and someone who doesn't look like they have two nickels to rub together, will buy a quilt and not quibble about price.
