August 1, 201114 yr This is not only a great topic, but it is timely as well. Only recently have I started to sell my artwork. Before this point, it felt to me like I was selling my children! (lots of sentimental value) As my art teacher told me, " Get over it! You gotta eat, don't you? " These are the few rules that help me in determining price. 1 . Keep track of the hours you actually put into making the piece. 2 . Keep track of your material costs and add ten per cent for carrying fee. 3 . Determine how much your time and skill are worth per hour, and stick to it! If Anyone in a service oriented business were to waffle on their prices and 'give someone a break' by lowering their bill, they would never get called back by that customer in the future because they will begin to doubt your abilities and even your honesty.
