I work at Bath & Body Works, and we sell 4 oz candles for $10. They're really great quality and smell fantastic (I own a whole pile of them), but I bet yours are just as good or better. Of course, I know people aren't always willing to pay what something is worth... selling polymer clay art at a local craft fair, I was barely able to break even on my cost of supplies, and I don't even want to know how many hours of work I put into it. I know what you mean about only being able to afford one 10 lb slab at a time, but once I settled on a wax, I saved up for a while so I could order a whole case of it at once... I think it was totally worth it considering how much I saved on the wax and especially the shipping.
