I've created a handmade hag dragon miniature its around adult size and made from sculpey and green stuff, and someone is interested in buying it. I'm unsure about the appropriate price, as it's difficult to assess my own art objectively. While I've received positive feedback from friends and family, I don't want to overestimate its value and i feel like i could make a ball of goop and my friends and family would say i could sell it for some absurd number . I've also had many requests to create custom miniatures or buy existing ones, but I haven't pursued those opportunities due to pricing uncertainty and shipping concerns.

A good way to think of pricing is like, if this was a job that you were paid for by the hour how much would you make from this. Let's say minimum wage is about 13 euro, which is low keep in mind. This looks like 8-10 hours of work, I'll put 9 for the example. So 9×13 is 117. Add the cost of materials and let's say add another about 100 or just for how much grueling work this is and the time it took to reach this level you're looking at close to 150

#

Don't undersell your work. 38 FOR ALL OF THAT?! WHAT NO WAY COME ON THIS IS WORTH. TRIPLE THAT ITS AWESOME
