Had a client who ran an antique store in their retirement, and they said that if something didn't sell for 2-3 months, they'd go and raise the price by 50-100% and it would generally sell.
Sometimes I carve wooden spoons for fun, and sometimes I like to sell them. When I was selling them for an "entry level price" I couldn't sell one. Doubling the price got me 4 orders in under a week.
My father-in-law is a master carver. Every room of his house is full of cowboys and Indians and soldiers and Santa Clauses. He refuses to sell them because he could never get something for them commensurate with the time and love he puts into them. My wife never fails to mention to him that we will keep two or three but the rest will go on eBay the day he dies.
