Reducing price?

Assalamualaikum!

I was kind of shocked to learn that people find the stuff I sell quite expensive. I thought that it's the cheapest price that you can get.
Initially, I wanted to sell the wristlet camera pouch for RM 50 excluding the price but I thought hey since I am a fairly new sewer and nothing that I made is so far perfect, I'll reduce the price.

In the end I sold the camera pouch to my friend for RM 25. It was kinda because she bought two items, so I don't mind.
But she got me thinking in reducing my price for all of the things I made (and going to make). I don't want to, especially the camera case since it's a tedious process, and at the end of the day of making one I always wonder why in the world am I doing this, again?

So. I came upon these people selling the same thing as me (please click the pictures to be directed at their site):

which sells for RM 75.

...RM 59...

...and...RM 81.

And some others:

and I use denim. and japanese cotton. Just like this person:
hereee
And her pouch is selling for RM 72. Which for me is, the right price. Japanese cotton is not cheap, and well, so is denim.

So.

I know I probably cannot compare to them who's probably have been sewing/selling for years, but still, I don't think my price is expensive. But regardless, maybe I will lower the prices a bit. Maybe. But still. Maybe not the camera pouch, but the japanese cotton wristlet. That one I know how to minimize cost, but I don't know how to reduce the price of the camera pouch. :P

And yes I've been sewing a little bit lately. Don't know if it'll come up to anything, so hehe just wait, I guess :P
