In the run up to Christmas I make a few things and sell them online, just for a bit of extra cash. I've heard it said elsewhere that it's unfair to undercharge for your time as you are undercutting those who are trying to make a living.
Although I value my time, I love making things so the selling is secondary rather than the aim and I also multi task so watch TV for example whilst crafting so it doesn't feel like I'm eating into important spare time. I do factor time in when pricing items but the rate per hour I use is fairly low.
Do others think it's wrong to undervalue time like this? Does it devalue hand made stuff?
