low mintage on purpose with the intent to make something "rare" does not necessarily make it more valuable - it simply shows a consistent desire to do less work to make more money.

If your cost is so high that you do not make a profit unless you do it this way - then you have an error in your process.

I just dont see the justification to spend 150 for what you call a "trade unit" that is worth 40 bucks tops - because who is going to take something in trade that is worth less than what they are trading?

I am not trying to be disrespectful because I really do like quite a few of the pieces you have made - but I cannot justify the expense in my head (maybe it is because I don't use what I buy for trade?) and any time I ask for an explanation your only answer has been to dismiss my questions.

But I also dont see any real quantity being bought here - most threads are empty except for your posts of "another one sold" I dont see but maybe a few (less than 10 usually) that actually post that they want to buy.

It appears as though I have struck a nerve - not my intent. But since you cannot be bothered to give me more than "Well, I gotta get paid for my work" I will chalk it up to arrogance or pride or just DGAF attitude and leave it be. At least you are not rugging people or setting people up to get robbed/conned like others are.
