Morning all,
Lately I have been asked several times in numerous places (here, my YouTube Channel, and DeviantART to name but a few) if I would be willing to do a TF custom for sale.
Only recently have I decided to throw caution to the wind and try it out for myself.. (I mean, I started it out as a hobby, and people want to BUY what I make.. so, what the hell!!
) I have however, hit a wall. I have no idea what so ever how to come up with a price for my customs. This is where (hopefully!) some of you can help me!!
If there is anyone out there who reads this and has accepted a custom commission before or does so on a regular basis I would
really appreciate some advice on this.
I thought about charging for the purchase of a mold to repaint, + time spent repainting said mold, + any materials and resources used + the cost of shipping the item to the buyer/commissioner. If that
is correct, what numbers should go to those details? Do I charge the same price that I had to buy the mold for? or do I go more or less?.. It's those sort of details that have be stumped at the moment.
In addition to that, any other tidbits of sage advice or knowledge would be appreciated to!
I also figured that if enough of my fellow Transtopians leave information in this thread, it might become a useful resource to any other people out there, who find themselves in the same position I am in the future!
Thanks in advance everyone, I look forward to hearing from you all!!
