since I don't know exactly where you are, I can't comment on whether your pricing is high or low for your neighborhood. It sounds reasonable to me. $800!!! would never fly down here. The people with that kind of money aren't buying gourds; at least I don't think so.

I picked some little yellow round gourds up in the hills, with some idea about decorating them, but they're kinda small so the possibilities are not as exciting.
