I admit that I twitched when I saw the price, but that's me. I am aware of the painstaking labour that goes into them, I've followed your process. It's higher level stuff, and I challenge anyone to find a comparable part at any price.
I don't understand the dichotomy of thinking, where people want hand crafted products to be made here in the continent, but want to pay mass production prices for it. My wife is an artist, and the way people devalue her time is frustrating. Often, it seems that the people with the most to say about the price are the least likely to be actual purchasers of art.
