Handmade items are well worth the hefty price tag. You try sitting there crocheting a blanket for hours and hours and then having someone wanting to pay some Walmart prices for it. You'd be ready to slap someone. You'd be just as upset if someone did the opposite and tried to sell you a cheap, factory made blanket for some "gave Grandma arthritis" prices.
At first this post about a custom made Colts blanket for $400 seems fair. Sure, I wouldn't buy it, but that's someone's hard work we're talking talking. It quickly gets to "hell no" territory when someone posts a link from Wayfair.com showing the same blanket for less than $40. All of a sudden that blanket isn't looking as good as it was before. Somehow knowing it's not handmade makes it look worse.
