Re: [Digital BW] In a Bind on Large Format B&W: advice?

2004-03-07 by Scott Graham

I think that $500 is fairly cheap for what you are talking about, and you better be careful 
or the cost of the frame will be most of that, given the exotic taste some people have in 
frames.  I saw some med sized photos selling for about $300 in a gallery/frame shop and 
thought "getting a reasonable price anyway".  Then I asked what a frame like that would 
cost, and it was over $200.

And pricing methods?  the first answer posted said it all.  It is a business right?  not a gosh 
whatever you'll give me.  And indeed it won't end up completely scientific, almost nothing 
is.  

Consider pricing the art alone for a few hundred and add the frame as itemized plus labor.  
Then you can give them a choice of frame too.

I'm sort of curious how the client bought something without a price.  Wonder if they 
assumed it would be 'dirt cheap'?

Good Luck
