My husband is an accountant.. his motto: "don't keep the merchandise"
My husband often falls for pieces and gets sad when they are sold, but happy that they are then paid for. I guess I could ask him to buy them if he really likes them, but somehow that seems...odd, and I would have to give him such a discount. Actually, it's hard to sell to family and friends, because I want to give them such a deal, and I have to weigh what I have in the piece versus what I could make by selling to a normal person. I often make my family discounts based on how popular I the piece has been or I think it will be - projected profit, I guess. I also make and give pieces to those family and friends that have been good costumers. I love to make something specifically for someone, that's so much fun to match personality and taste to a piece.
