I have deactivated the items I have listed on Art Fire. My delimma is that I don't sell stuff that sells through the summer. My crochet hats, although fine items, are not something people look for in the warmer months. For that reason I just can't see paying $84 per year to let my items just sit there. It's just not practical in these economically hard times we're experiencing.
My toboggans can currently be found in my Eccentric Thrifter store at ecrater.
I think Art Fire is an awesome place with lots of great features. But my store is just simply not diverified enough with a wide range of items or with items that are "year-round" friendly. I'm sure, as winter approaches again in a few months I'll be in a better position.
