I take it that you don't sell.

If you did, you might realise what a HARD slog it is to make a living selling these days. Not that it was EVER EASY.

It's not necessarily the seller's fault that prices are increasing while quality (often out of their control) is diminishing.

I'm finding many (if not most) of the items I have sold for years have suddenly gone downward in quality.

I've already started to change to different lines.
