This site provides a partial explanation for why my website prints sales
have all but completely dried up in the past few years.   I used to get a
steady stream of inquires about print prices etc., and always managed to
see a few throughout the year, at prices I always felt were appropriate for
"fine-art", that is, about 200 bucks or so for an 11x14 print (darkroom
printed the old fashioned way, on real fibre based silver paper, toning
blah, blah).   But no more.   How can I compete with 38 dollar art?  It
costs me 40 bucks just to FedEx a print to a US address.
