Celine sings for 45 minutes a night in Vegas and makes 1 million/week.
Maybe you could learn how to sing Andy? All joking aside, isn't anything
better than long hours, sucking up those fumes, lead under our fingernails,
and bleeding for our art? Of course I can afford to be cynical and smug
these days huh?

Pricing is often determined by what we call "perceived value". Just
because you can make something for $10, should you sell it for $20
when it looks like it's worth $100?

Well, I'm good with that. That supports my perception of stained
glass as an art instead of just a craft.

Very nice! I wonder why they don't want them anymore? They were
obviously made for that location. I would think it would be difficult
to sell a set of three windows that were custom-built for a specific
location.

You mention basement bandits. Is $1K apiece for them dirt cheap? I'm
not overly familiar with pricing, but they look like they could each
be put together in about a day's time. If there's $200 in materials
in one, that's $800 for labor and overhead. Take a hundred out of
that and a guy would still have enough to get drunk on.
