Amen Quiltnut! Ha! Ha! I like the way you put this!
I had talked to a lady who owns a store in the town where I live and she caters to the wealthy folks. All her items are priced high for sure. My daughter works there and she had told me that alot of people are coming in the store and asking for homemade quilts. Of course, she would love to give them my phone number, but her boss is usually standing there every time. But anyways, I decided to call her boss and tell her about a quilt I have made that is kinda different in style and colors as I have been told she loves unusual stuff to sell for her store. She acted like she just didn't know if it would sell and she really didn't even know how much homemade quilts would go for. She has a children's section that it would look great in I know for a fact. I felt like she was trying to get something for nothing so I never gave her a price that I would like to sell it for. I like what my husband says, if someone does not want to pay the price, we are not "giving it away", we will just fold it back up and put it back in storage.
So I totally agree with you and understand how you feel.
