Just something to think about:
I would expect potters to report lower gross sales than jewelers,
since potters are selling dirt and jewelers are selling silver
and gold.
Gross sales is not the important figure. Gross profit is what
counts. I may well make more money selling a vase for $75 than
a jeweler selling a pendant for $100.

You may be right. I feel however that the jeweller has it made at shows.
He/She walks into the show with $300,000.00 in two suitcases. I don't
think potters can say the same thing.
