However, how can it be represented in game in any reasonable manner. It sounds to me like "Well, I shifted my focus from making items to something esle, and now a bunch of my gold went missing..." I wouldn't mind the rule as much if it wasn't so completely abstract and had some in game basis...

Well, the way I'd look at it is that you crafted these items and they retain some sort of link to you. When you actively retrain yourself out of a crafting feat, it breaks the link in exactly the wrong way unless you have some other crafters transfer the link to themselves - as if they were the person who crafted the item in the first place. Which they are quite happy to do for half the cost of the item :)
