Do you think that Charging for your craft cheapens it?

Do you think that by charging for your craft or talents be it making items to sell that are of witchcraft/wiccan in nature, or charging for your magical workings cheapens your craft making you a sales person rather than that of a naturalist or witch.

Or do you feel that its ok to charge for items that have be crafted like wands, altar tiles, ect because you have taken the time to create it, therefore it should be given as a gift of love? Or is it ok to charge because you have spent a little of your money to buy the material it took to make it and you are looking for compensation of what you spent plus maybe a little on the side?

Say that someone sees one of your works and really likes it and wishes to 'hire' you to create something similar to it for them. If you accept the job, do you charge for it or do you do a barter? Or do you just make it for them and expect nothing in return?

Remember I am posting this question as a Witch not as a Wiccan. I do understand that Wiccan Laws say that you are not suppose to do magic for personal gain. And that you are never suppose to charge for your craft but if you do that you are suppose to charge a fair and equal amount of energy in exchange for the services rendered.
