Some someone on DeviantART wants to buy one of my werewolf minis. Since they aren't the best paint jobs I thought maybe $5.00 would be fair? Anyway I appreciate any and all help. :)
NEED HELP.

Got a pic? Is this your sculpt or something you bought? $5 seems a little low.

$5 is too low. Add the cost of the mini (+ the tax you paid) to your hourly rate x hours it took to complete. Your hourly rate should factor in your experience and skill.

mkay. It's one of my older paint jobs.
But I showed him these two. I asked him to pick out which one and then we'd go over the price.

$5 won't even cover postage, let alone your costs.

Those are cool.
Are those Reaper figures?
I want 10 of them in Bones.

My general formula is "How long did it take me to paint it, and how much was my time worth under the circumstances?" Then add shipping.
"Actually, I DO look like my avatar..."

Same figure, a little effort on the base, slightly better paint job (IMO):

Different figure, about the same level of effort (IMO)" http://www.ebay.com/...=item19d2c64b52
Note that the plastic pre-paint sells for what you were considering: http://www.reapermin...rs/latest/20025

Is that a metal or Bones model?
At the very least: Model cost+What you think is fair for the paint job+Shipping.

I would add the cost of mini and the amount of paint and detail on a mini for the price. For example I sold the other on ebay my converted Warboss on bike for $51.00. The model didn't cost anything cause it was free bits I got from a friend. But the amount of time it took to convert and paint by a golden demon winner is why I charged $51.00. I include shipping with the price of the mini.
