   For me, I don't sell my graphs.  But when I get books (say twice a   
   year I score something worth it) I will get a second copy if they'll   
   allow me to and I'll try to sell the other to either get mine free or   
   nearly free or help with the costs.  You're right before when you say   
   this hobby is expensive.  It's like my concert habit.  We do a lot and   
   do all  the free ones, but sometimes we pay and spend the night in   
   hotels etc.  Book signings too or other things as they come along...   
   it gets expensive with having to eat out and the gas etc.   
      
   Did you hear they want to have a sin tax on fast food?  Upwards of   
   10%.  Which would mean you might as well eat in a sit-down restaurant   
   as prices will be closer to that.
