So I made this hat for a friend of mine a few years ago: misao-chan.deviantart.com/art/Nautolan-Hat-216658515I just recently received a message from someone asking if they could commission a similar piece from me, and they're asking for a price quote, and, uh, I'm really bad at the whole pricing my work thing. Does anyone have a good ballpark estimate I could give them? |

I can't give you a good estimate, but may I just say how awesome that hat is?

If they want anything lower, tell them that you wish them luck in finding a hat that makes them happy, but they'll have to go elsewhere. Now, I personally tend to charge $20 an hour + material costs/expenses + shipping + 10% to cover various "other" fees that I might run into -- but I do this for a living and have a bit of a reputation so I can command that higher price. |

Ah, okay. That's a good rule. I wish I could remember how long it took me to make the last one; I guess I'll just have to estimate. Thanks for your help! |
