I don’t know about that, but last week I was in SC, and the price of baskets they were selling, must have included ‘reparations’ as well. They are crazy to ask $75 for a basket.

Sweet grass baskets are expensive, but they’re pretty time consuming to weave as well.

Those are locally made according to old traditions. The artisans have to have licenses and permits. If you want a cheap, Chinese-made basket, go to Pier 1.

I'll bet they were pretty much self-sufficient until the explosion of goobermint "programs".
And maybe their culture expects you to haggle over the price?
