I hear this all the time too. I just ask them if they can get a one-of-a-kind item at Walmart or any other retail store. Then I show them my purse which I've been carrying for several years and not one popped stitch. They either order or don't. Not going to short myself anymore.
as someone else mentioned, I go with the 3-4 x cost price too.
