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.
I planned on staying out of this, but it’s hard for me to stay silent when you try to dissolve your behavior, Mopar. Given your status, you should lead as a more positive example. You have a funny way of being 'nice' or asking questions with backhanded statements or questions.
Passive-aggressive communication can significantly impact relationships in various ways:
1. **Erosion of Trust**: When one party communicates passively, it may lead to feelings of betrayal or distrust. The other person may feel unsure about the intentions behind the passive-aggressive behavior.
2. **Increased Conflict**: Rather than addressing issues directly, passive-aggressive individuals often express their dissatisfaction indirectly. This can result in unresolved conflicts that simmer beneath the surface, leading to greater tension over time.
3. **Emotional Confusion**: Those on the receiving end may feel confused or frustrated, unsure of what the passive-aggressive individual truly wants or feels. This can lead to misunderstandings and misinterpretations of intentions.
4. **Resentment Build-Up**: As communication remains indirect, feelings of resentment can accumulate. The person experiencing passive-aggressive behavior may feel invalidated, leading to further emotional distance.
5. **Ineffective Resolution**: Problems remain unaddressed in a passive-aggressive dynamic, resulting in ineffective resolutions. This can hinder the growth and development of the relationship.
6. **Reduced Intimacy**: Open and honest communication is essential for intimacy. Passive-aggressive behavior can create barriers that prevent deeper connections, leading to emotional isolation.
7. **Stress and Anxiety**: Both parties may experience heightened stress and anxiety. The passive-aggressive individual may feel internal conflict, while the other person may feel the pressure of navigating indirect communication.
8. **Cycle of Negativity**: This communication style can lead to a cycle of negativity, where each party reacts to the other's behavior, perpetuating a toxic dynamic.
Addressing passive-aggressive communication typically requires open dialogue and a willingness to confront underlying issues directly.
