A friend of mine, who stopped pottery back in the 80's, used to take a li=
st
of staple grocery items and their local prices with her when she did a
show...she would shop around in the local markets (not the big chain stor=
es)
and compare the prices. She said that this would be a true indicator of =
the
economic strength of the area. This allowed her to keep her pots priced
fairly in line with what others in the area were getting, without actuall=
y
copying any of the other artists prices.
