On my way back from the local Woodcraft today we stopped at a craft fair. There was a booth where a guy was selling hand turned pens and I recognized his cheapest pens as the same kit I had just purchased for $7 each, but he wanted $50 for the finished pen and his most expensive pens were over $100. There was another booth selling bowls for $100- $150 and some were even more. I didn't get into turning for the money, but I was a bit shocked at these prices. Do pens and bowls really sell for this much or were these folks overpriced? Sitting in a booth in a craft fair doesn't sound all that appealing to me, but having my hobby pay for itself sounds kinda nice.
