    Dear Sandra, I think a look at the numbers of "cost of goods" of
    hard pricing of materials is at least the primary concern in pricing.
    You can't maintain an inventory no matter how big or small by selling
    less than you buy. The art of pricing then comes in at your time in
    producing the items. My time is a much more market sensitive variable
    than any other pricing factor. Sometimes it is worth much and
    sometimes not. The atmosphere of my shop, the education I give to my
    clients, the inventory I "have to make" because I fall in love with
    materials or technique and my experience and willingness to learn are
    all things which are market sensitive. By market sensitive I mean,
    how hungry am I at the present time? Do I need money today or can I
    sit and wait. Do I want to fund a project or finance a new tool? No
    body can price with so much confidence they don't always look over
    their shoulder and wonder if they did it right. Sam Patania, Tucson
