The Price is Right

I have perused the internet for a pricing formula and even though I have found several similar ways of working out my cost, supplies and other things and doing mathematical olympics with these variables, I still have yet to really find something that works.  If I use the methods, the price comes out to high.  I usually have to lower the prices depending on my feeling.  What will it go for? How much do you think people will buy it for?  Even though this is a serious no no!!  I like prices to be fair and I like to be paid for what I work for.  It's really hard to fight in this mass market world and stay on top.  I want to believe that handmade items will get more glory, in dollar amounts, that means more money but for me, it's not looking so.  I don't claim to be a professional crocheter but I handle everything professionally when it comes to the business. 
I have seen some horror products online and the prices are too high but yet they are receiving sales.  Some days I just want to give up and other days, I just want to crochet until my heart's content.  Some days, I feel like I've made what I've made and that's it.  If it sells fine, if it doesn't fine.  The reality is I love to crochet no matter what.  The other reality is is that I may never make enough money to live off of this but I seem to still keep trying to do it.  Some people just seem to be lucky and get all the support they need and people keep buying and the things cost an exorbitant amount of money but once they sell a few things, that pretty much takes care of everything for the month.  Others like me, we have to keep fighting just to get a dot in the market.  If you make a few dollars, you are lucky.
Yesterday, I told myself, I'm done because crap sells and I don't sell crap! Yesterday, I said, I don't want to go on with this if this is the way the world works now.  Yesterday, I felt so down that I didn't know how to pick myself up.
Today is a new day.  Today  may not be a new attitude but today, I go on.  And with this, I leave you at this point.
