Prices for selected goods in 1993 and 2000 at different points in the market chain

# In the case of carvers this is the price at which carved goods were offered to vendors and retailers (see Figure 2),whereas in the case of furniture makers this is the price at which the item was offered to the final consumer.* Prices are flexible; price shown reflects effects of bargaining.
