Sittin here drinkin that afternoon cup right now. The LOML will be back from an out of town conference by this time tomorrow, so we'll be sharing our leisurely cups together.
And I wont even go into the whole people that buy a hammer and now there a builder thing. Thats for a different thread.
Chances are the buyer in that case was not gonna go looking at shows for a similar piece, nor was he gonna go knockin on some pros shop door to have the pro build one for him. But even those cases set price precedents, and that gets around.
if one is secure enough in their own talent, they dont have to worry about competitive prices.
Bet if you put it at a marina or something with a sign on it,you could sell it right quick.
i totally missed this thread.......for me where i am geographically i charge by the seat of my pants. factors that i weigh are how busy i am, how cool the job is, my perception of the customer, what the job can do for me as far as future work......in todays economy a fellow is doing well to keep the doors open....when things turn around again my business model will be the same, sometimes ya` eat beans and sometimes ya` eat steak, the trick is to keep eating
