I do craft fairs myself, so what I buy are things that I either don't know how to, or don't want to, make for myself. More specifically, I've bought a painting, handmade soap, and quite a few food items.
Quality is a big thing with me. I've seen some incredible workmanship and talent, and I've also seen things that were so poorly made that I wondered why the seller even bothered. At my very first fair, a lady across from me had made some wreaths, and was showing one to a customer. One of the wreath's decorations fell right off and hit the ground. The seller awkwardly tried to reattach it, but couldn't. How embarrassing!
At the same fair, the lady beside me had some wood decorations she'd painted, but to be honest, it looked like a kindergartener had made them. I overheard at the end of the fair that neither of them had sold a single thing.
