Hi all,

I just received the following question by email. I would like to hear what your answers would be.

Pedro,

How much would you charge to build the Eiffel Tower model seen on your
website..?

Pedro.

As much as you can PLUS 50%

How much can you afford? Or if you have to ask...you can't afford it.

How long does it take to build?
What are the material costs ?
What is your time worth?

There is no specific answer, but definitely add a value for the "art" aspect.
You are a true artist Pedro, and no you don't need to go hungry because of it.

You want to do it for the fun of it: charge a little and be sure of the sale.
You have built it for fun already in the past, and this is a commissioned piece of art from an artist?

Go for the gold, figure out your costs and labor, then at a minimum double it.

The more you charge, the more they will figure they have a piece of art worth something (people are weird that way) if you don't charge enough they think it's a cheap wooden thingy.

On a different note: How did the build for the theatre group go? is it done? do you have pictures of it?

Good luck,
Marcel
