I wonder if those who have never been a vendor realize 1. How much work goes into making a product that's quality (even tho quality is subjective ;o)) and 2. How little the vendor actually gets for their troubles at the point of sale. God forbid you actually have a partner, like Gabe sometimes does or I was planning to or others do...then it gets even smaller. With the way prices have been crawling downward over the years I'm surprised anyone even makes anything to sell at all anymore. The way I see it, it's looking more and more like those who create and sell would do better to bypass the larger stores and just sell from their own website. Then if shit hits the fan, at least they know it was all on them, not someone else shooting them in the foot ;o).
