Last Night

I went to two art openings last night where I had something hanging in each.  At the second opening I had won a third place in the crafts category for a framed Paris collage on which I had a selling price of $400.  I was told that someone wanted to buy it for $300 and how did I feel about that?  I said no, the price is the price, keeping in mind that there would be a 40% commission.

Later I thought I could have asked for a 30% commission and that way everyone would win but deep down I did not want that person to know that he could call the shots.  It was the principal of the thing.

What would you have done?
