however they are a tad overpriced (IMHO).

A tad? Needless to say, IMHO, they are WAY, WAY overpriced...their products are nice, but I just don't see how the "average" person can afford to pay what they sell their baskets for. I saw a sale flyer the other day with a new purse basket...with a $300 price tag. That's ridiculous. We have a good amount of disposable income, but that's just irresponsible to pay $300 for a purse basket...I suspect many others feel the same way.

I hate to see folks getting layed off or losing their jobs all together, but I'm not surprised to see this happen...there's only just so much a person is going to pay for a basket, and Longaberger has brought this on themselves...I think they've priced themselves out of the market...can't compete with those "made in China/made in Taiwan" imports.

I haven't bought one in probably 10 years. Sounds like the prices have continued to skyrocket if they're asking $300 for them these days. They were overpriced 10 years ago, but what they must be going for now is ridiculous!!
