I heard a joke last year that was about a woman not wanting something because it wasn't dear enough but when the assistant took it out the back and then came back with the same item and put double the price on it she was happy to buy it. Unfortunately I can't remember the exact words now.
I told it to a friend and she said her mother told her that back in the war years the hairdresser had several bottles of shampoo on display at different prices, but she confided in my friend's mother that every bottle contained the same shampoo and the dearer price was just for the snobs who liked to think they were superior to everyone else. In those days they didn't have the vast array of shampoos that we do now.
People who make craft items often don't sell much until they put their prices up by quite a lot. If you devalue your own work you can't expect others to value it either.
