Do you prefer buying direct from the artisan or through a reseller?
Most resellers, the official at least, sell the artisan products at the same price with their makers, so if you buy from them you don't spend more money on the same product.
If you buy the products direct, the artisan actually gets more money for his own creation. If you buy them through a reseller, both earn money from a transaction and you help both with your support.
I'm of two minds about this.
What do you think? Give more support to the maker or feed more people? The latter sounds better to me, especially in these challenging times, but, on the other hand, I like tο reward creativity more. I'm in a quandary.
