    Well, David, I'm going to be pretty much forced to put this to the
    test. I have a showin a couple of weeks-- my only one of the season.
    Because of the increase in the cost of metals, I really have to
    raise my prices, and I'm pretty nervous about it. Last night, I was
    making a necklace style that has sold quite well at $225. It will
    now have to be $320. Will it still sell? 

    Last year at this show, I sold 10 of a style that averaged about
    $50-- my lowest-priced item, and a good gift choice. Will they still
    be, at $70? 

    We'll see! 

    If I wanted to get out of the business, like the crop sprayer in the
    story, I'd do as he did and double my prices. But like most of us, I
    have a lot to lose. 

Noel
