    My reply is only because I feel pricing is a live or die issue for
    any business. 

    You missed my "reasonably sell" statement. 

    But if you have a price list, web store or site  AT  key or key + 10%
    it's an industry standard, and if a store feels they need 3 X cost
    to pay the rent, just let them know my markup is keystone and I
    publish it. No one else is that high, and your customers may get
    angry when they see a lower price. I guess I don't like anyone
    telling me how to run MY business. 

    It comes down to what are your (any artist) needs, and what are the
    stores needs. It's a 3 part deal: 1:artist 2:store 3:retail customer.

    The trick is how to make everyone happy, not an easy question. 

    Sorry, no easy answer folks.  Unfortunately, "it all depends" 

Tim...
