claire_wain and sci both have experience with making stuff and selling it. They might be good people to talk to about this, or simply just good people to watch for ideas.
I made hairfalls and sold them on eBay for a while. In the end I stopped because while I enjoy making things, I dislike selling: taking pictures, writing descriptions, packaging things up and taking them to the post office were not worth the money I was getting. I don't know if I'd respond differently now that I'm not depressed; in any case I'm too busy and my body won't let me do the yarn-work that I was using for the hairfalls in any significant way.
