Someone explain to me why these hand-made works of art cost less than a significantly smaller scented candle at some place like Bath and Body works or Yankee Candle.

one is scented

My question remains. A quick google search led me to a site that sold them for roughly 20 bucks, while my ******* "Vanilla Bourbon" candle from Bath and Body Works cost me $34.99 and it was half the size of these. It's kind of ******** .

Scents cost more than wax

But at half the size, and mass produced by a machine? These one's look amazing, and are hand-made and carved individually, while mine was melted, mixed, poured into a glass, and shipped out. It just seems backwards to me.

i know but i dont know if you''l understand this but its basically a chunk of copper vs smaller chunk of copper with bits of gold in it

the copper with bits of gold cost more because it has more value in it while the chunk of copper is made of a material easy to find

because people are willing to pay that price. The hand crafted candles are for sure much more expensive to produce because of the added labour needed to create them, but scented candles are "romanic" and "scented" so they can get away with selling them that price.
