I agree.
I don't plan on selling ANY of the pitchfork replicas I make/have
made. But if I make or have made custom war hammers, battle axes,
etc, and people like them enough to pay for them, you bet I'm going
to be selling them for what the market will bear. Cost recovery on
a resin cast war hammer would probably be single digit cents, if
that much. That doesn't begin to address the other "costs" involved
in designing them, producing them, etc.
