People really have no concept for how much it takes for hand-made products, do they? The stuff at the stores are made in a massive factory made to pump out stuff cheap and fast. They can “afford” to sell it for so cheap because they put very little overall effort and time into the making of the item. People making stuff by hand? That is a lot of time which they could have spent at a job that pays a regular wage. Plus about 7/10 times the handmade stuff lasts longer than the bulk stuff since there is much more care in its construction, rather than the factory which stresses the daylights out of the material. Folks who want commissioned stuff for cheap are ignorant or straight up belligerent, like that guy above.
