I would suggest adding something like,
"If your art isn't selling, maybe your prices are too high. Even if you're amazing, not everybody will pay a sunjewel for it, and if you're just average people might not even want to pay rares when other artshops offer the same quality for a third of the price.
I'd suggest a "choose your own price"

Another way I've bought art before is that they let you decide what you want to pay after you see the commission

I have an addition. I recently saw an art shop abd the payment said:
"Every style requires at least four rares list pets."
Maybe I read it wrong, but thats what I saw. AND THEY HAD ORDERS. I was like: o.0
Ridiculously high prices tell some customers your work is worth it, or at least you think it is, but to others like me, we think your art is good sure,but we also think you're inflating your ego with such high prices.

this is so true! I can't tell you how many times I've decided against ordering a commission just because the people were rude or had a HUGE ego, or even that their rules were too long and went in circles. @_@

When I'm impressed with someone's manners, humbleness and openness, I am often willing to give them extra payment.
