What is says.

How much would you sell the army in this blog post?
What would you charge to scratch build a Roman DBA Curler army?

I have an inquiry and want fair assessment.

The army would take about 5-6 hours to build, base, and paint.

The style of build:

Wow! That pic as your title for the blog. The AWI toy plastic soldiers. I had those. From some old comic books. What a memory indeed. I still have those lil red an blue guys, giant cannons, and British grenadiers with pointy baskets for mitre caps.

Thanks for that.

That took you 5-6 hours to build, but it would take me much longer.

you can charge minimum wage for your work, or you can charge what you think your time is worth.
From what you say, it would not take you long to replace it, though. grin

$150 USD would not be out of hand.

Yes charge minimum wage -of course no one will pay that even though I think they are rather charming-especially the elephants.

Supply and Demand.

How many curler armies are out there pre-made and ready to game with?

To me, my free time is very valuable. Nothing under $30 USD-40 cash per hour would be acceptable.

What is your time worth to you?

Lions Den22 Apr 2015 6:31 p.m. PST

about $20.50 USD / hour.

So you are at a hundred bucks or so. Now you need to find a guy who is willing to pay 100 bucks for a hair curler army. I am guessing that is a pretty small market.

Lions Den25 Apr 2015 8:51 a.m. PST

Small and yet it does exist.

I played with his clockwork century hair curler armies at Recruits one year and they were very impressive.

Lions Den30 Apr 2015 11:46 a.m. PST

Two armies sold for $110.00 USD. 24 stands of curlers in Roman and Briton garb.
