Isn't it so disheartening when you try to sell something at rock bottom price and some cheap so-and-so STILL tries to beat you down?

I make greetings cards for a hobby (and as a sort of occupational therapy... cutting up all that paper instead of wanting to stab people with my letter opener at work....) and I charge the barest minimum for all paper, less than half the cost of materials for the hand sewn ones... and people STILL want me to drop the price (currently £1.00 each for a unique, hand made card), even though all proceeds go to charities.

Makes you want to hand the thing over with a loud speech about next time Little Timmy hobbles over on his crutches, you'll have to tell him he can't have bread AND milk this week because you didn't make enough money on the sale.

De-cluttered 2/3rds of a bottle of Pinot Grigio and most of a box of cherry liqueurs. Today was a good day!
