It all boils down to the audience you are trying to sell to. Their knowledge, money and/or open-mindedness, not necessarily in that order...

>From grocery stores, I get $.80/lb for both "regular" and oriental
eggplant. About 35lb in banana boxes. Demand for "regular" is only
fair. Demand for oriental is very poor. At farmers markets, $1 each
or 4 for $3 for both types. Demand for both at farmers markets is very
low. I plant about 10% as much eggplant as okra, zucchini, tomatoes,
or peppers. I spend more time trying to sell the eggplant. And throw
more of it away. Bah! Humbug! :-)
