yep, the folk scene seems to be pretty unique in still buying CDs. I don't buy many CDs anymore myself - I have an emusic subscription and a whopping credit card bill to pay off, and I'm a bit sick of owning so much CLUTTER and STUFF.

But I like the fact that folkies will probably still be buying physical products at gigs for a good 20 years or so. (I reckon.)

If you're a working musician and you happen to make folk music, then I say charge as much as you can. That's what everybody else does, with every other product under the sun.

At a gig though, I think it's probably shooting yourself in the foot to charge over a tenner. People need to drink and be merry, after all.
