Advice: Commission Prices

[paradedemon.livejournal.com]

EDIT: Please note, I'm under the age of 18, so I can't take money commissions yet.

I've been getting people seeming to call me "greedy" or "crazy for having commissions for 400 points and more.

are people getting greedy right now and want more for less?
i think my art is really quite good so I take points commissions on DA for points all 10 $ worth or less.

yet people ask to take that and such to 100 points?
It bother me that people call me greedy for wanting a decen money for commissions? It's not even money, only virtual currency that's purchased for money but cannot be sold for money P:

I've only had people "satisfied with my prices" when I sold things for less than 40 points a year ago pretty much P:

If anyone is telling you charging $5 for your work and time is greedy, then I commend you for not telling them right the hell off from the moment they're fingers hit send on that message.

You should never have to be selling your art and time for pennies as it is. Everyone who's whining can just take their business elsewhere and take advantage of another artist who is more than ready to completely under price themselves. Guilting an artist into underselling themselves completely is disgusting as it is, and I can't imagine wanting business from such people anyways.

That said, you are not being greedy, at all. Unless you are literately selling 2 minutes worth of work in MSPaint, there is NO reason to be selling your art for 100 points.

If anything, the people saying you are being greedy are not only being insanely greedy themselves, but utterly tactless and rude.

I get messages like that all the time, ranging from "rip-off" to "money-grubbing" to "greedy" and the likes. It takes so much effort to not smack them around verbally. :I
