What do you suggest? --- End quote --- --- Quote from: Böltster on October 01, 2012, 04:34:44 PM ---have people vote on the price of a build with a poll, at least then you'll get an objective measure --- End quote --- Something like this. Or having multiple builders bid on how much they're gonna take for building the requested build. The one with the lowest price wins, unless the requester decides otherwise. Healthy competition is always good :D |

--- Quote from: Conan on September 30, 2012, 08:53:42 PM --->missed point of topic and treynold's post what people are doing is posting builds to ask what price they would potentially be if they were commissioned. --- End quote --- No I choose to reinforce and compound on it rather than quote it and just say "this" And there is a big difference between "this is what I built/want to build, would you pay me for it/to finish it" versus "this is what i'll pay you to build, how much do you want for it." People don't seem to really be differentiating that particularly well in this topic so far. I'm saying the former is a bad idea in general. |

It's not like I can have prices for brickcount. --- End quote --- --- Quote from: Mordius on October 01, 2012, 04:34:04 PM --- Hmm.

Per-64x baseplate pricing would be about $0.40 for medium and $0.60 for high quality. Additional costs would be possibly another ten cents for detail. Probably add another 20 cents if ts a 64 cube region if the build has substantial z-axis construction. None of this would be affected by addon usage; that's just dumb. A lot can be done with just default bricks. --- End quote --- Charging based on brickcount isn't a stupid idea; its just that excellent stuff can be made with little bricks so it shouldn't be a major factor in basing pricing off of. --- Quote from: Böltster on October 01, 2012, 04:34:44 PM ---have people vote on the price of a build with a poll, at least then you'll get an objective measure --- End quote --- That won't really work since everyone's economic muscle is different and some would be more willing to spend cash than others. Plus then you can have private clans that upvote higher prices with promises of receiving part of the high price. Price should be decided only between the builder and the client; negotiation would be a better idea than having public opinion. It also fits every person's available wallet rather than what the forum thinks. --- Quote from: Nexus on October 01, 2012, 06:01:46 PM ----snip- --- End quote --- ok |

I decided to scrap most of the ideas and the ridiculous Low, Medium, High cost methods. Were just going to let the buyer announce the price before hand. So, were working on our first project, a medieval village requested by Elm. As soon as this is sold, it should increase our rep! :D |
