Dankshizzle, am a blower and I managed a headshop for years up until last year. I have had these conversations for most of the time I have done both. It is hard to not take offense when people throw your work into the same realm as import, I know. I found that you really cant change everyone's mind. Some folks will always go for the $20 spoon just because it is $20. They dont care about the glass shards from drilling the bowl out or that some 8 fingered orphan in Pakistan made it, just that it is $20. The same people keep Walmart afloat. There will always be these folks among us. Luckily there are the people with more discerning tastes. The people who buy Snap-on tools instead of Harbor-Freight. The people who want the right tool for the job or just know that the quality difference is what you are paying for. Keep up your work and know that you are helping people make a cleaner product.
