Being a leather worker, I get this all the time. I've made cell phone cases as gifts for friends, and then they'll ask me to make them another one so they can give it away...usually, I turn to my wife and ask, "What're we getting for these now? About $80 or so, isn't it?", and they go all wall-eyed.
People we know make leather earrings and other jewelry, and get noses turned up at them when they want to charge more than $5 for their hand-crafted work.
Not many people appreciate everything that goes into creating something like that. It's ridiculous, but sadly, a fact of life.
