Het resultaat van een visieloze prijs-race to the bottom waardoor het Westen volledig afhankelijk is geworden van China en India. Prijs is belangrijker dan kwaliteit en continuïteit.

Do you hand-make things that you sell? Do you wish Etsy would *disintegrate* for jacking up fees 30% after a record sales year?

Artisans Coop is on its way to becoming a very real Etsy alternative, a place for handmade goods that is owned by its members, that can put all that "record sales" into the pockets of sellers, not white collar thugs.
