Yeah, that's mostly the same reasons I got out of it. I had my own business doing commissions for years, and for a while people weren't actually that prone to negotiating the price, but when the 2008 recession hit there was a sudden and noticeable difference. I suddenly had "well, I can get it on X website for $100", to which I'd always say, "good, you should buy that one, then!" They also suddenly got a lot more demanding? Like, dictating what type of *thread* they wanted used, kind of persnickety stuff. It just wasn't worth it anymore.
