Really? I would think it would do the reverse. Someone is willing to pay $50 for your work (albeit to someone else). This shows your work has real value, not zero. If it were me, I'd start charging for Daphne after seeing this because I now know there is a market out there for it.
Alas, I think that is most likely the entire point of your blog post.
