Because I set up at shows with Kevin Keating, I have to listen to the "his prices are too high" complaint a lot. I think what I'm really hearing most of the time is "I wish I could afford something he has, but can't." We all wish prices were lower on the stuff we collect, but what's the use complaining about it? If the price is too high on something available elsewhere, just buy the other one. And if the price is too high on something not available elsewhere, how can you say it's too high? And, like Rhys, Kevin's inventory is too vast to go back and revise prices often. So he says, "Why don't they just make me an offer?"
