Actually, having been in retail for a long time, the "it's too high" is not necessarily a "no I am not going to buy." In the world of retail, it's viewed as the person is starting the sale with you at that point. Sometimes, we as individuals not savvy to retail miss that opportunity, because we are shocked, hurt, surprised, thinking "how dare they say that about all my hard work." When a person protests, they are waiting to hear WHY they should want your item over all others. Actually, a very humble smile from you can open the door, start pointing out the quality, and original work, etc. When a person "protests" as we think, many times, they are rationalizing outloud what they are thinking in their mind, "how can I justify buying this?" And pointing out the price is a way of convincing themselves it's not feasible. If you act uninterested in them because of their remark, or come back with a retort, you just justified their original protest. But, when you attach value to what you made, such as how exciting it was for you the creator to make, that you loved how it turned out and wanted to share it with others. Ask them what attracted them to it in the first place? Value their opinion, you might be surprised. They just might value your work and feel they have to have a piece of yours!
