Prices?

[WolverineFan]

Everyone is cheap in there own way.I have not done alot of customs figuires for people but can.I mostly paint and modify players.I just don't advertise hard for work but my work is awesome.I have done modified players so I usually don't charge for that.You can change what u charge for your work.Micheal I have seen your work is second to none.You can't put a price on your time your doing work for people..When I paint teams for people I charge 6 bucks a man loaded with all bells n whistles.with them supplying the figs and accesorries.If they no figuires I charge what I pay for them.I have not done a big custom team for no one so right now don't know what I would charge.

If someone wants work from you then hey will pay what u charge them

for the responses so far.

I am not just asking for myself, but to get an overall discusion of what people think figures are worth, on all of the levels.

I personally don't really want any more commissions, this hobby is my escape from professional demands. I do this to remind myself of the fun I had as a kid. I was just so flattered by the response to my work, that I was willing to do some for others. Now I am just enjoying getting to it when I feel like it.

As for pricing, I would love to think fully detailed figures were worth around $30, but that makes a 22 man team cost over $600 . I can't even imagine paying that myself. I still like to look for $5 teams on ebay. I rarely find any, as the ones I want go for more, but I still hope to find that bargain.

In reality , something is worth as much as someone is willing to pay.

That says it all. The real value of anything is what someone else is willing to pay for it at that particular day and time.

To give you an example. I painted two teams of 30 figures and put the same equal amount of time and detail into each team. Placed on ebay. Sold one team for $60.00 and one for $130.00. The only difference, one team was more in demand than the other on that particular day and time and someone was willing to pay more for it on that particular day and time.

My best advice make someone a price and they will either accept it or not. Be fair to your self as well. Don't under sell your talent.
