What would this be worth?

[Farmer]

I've been making a few,...and They're kinda a pain to make.....but I know I don't charge enough for em.

What would you guys think would be a fair price??? This is just an example of a plain one,...some are much fancier....

[Major 2]

Not sure about the rest of you...
All I see is Gray on Gray with little RED X   

[Farmer]

really? dang,..I see it perfectly,....hmmmm?

[Ned Buckshot]

Comes up perfectly for me very nice by the way!

[outrider]

I would ask somewhere between 60-75 dollars

[Ten Wolves Fiveshooter]

 Farmer, I agree with Outrider, nice work by the way.

Thanks,.....i've sold a few for like 20 bucks,.......figured that was kinda low.

I made myself some at first ,..just to cover up some old ugly stocks,....but then others saw them and liked them.

I find it difficult to price items as well.  I usually take cost of the supplies (% of leather used and I include the cost of a thing of linen thread,and an extra buck or two for dye, etc.).   If no tooling I factor in 15 to 20% over that cost.    If it has tooling, I will add another 10%. 

I make enough to recoup my costs, off the top, 10% goes to a Native American school in the Dakotas.  (I do a lot of fringed things for friends and in the days of Cowboys and Indians, the very thing that got me into this, I was always an Indian, so I want to give back).  Any extra I pool up and take my wife to dinner or something nice. I am a hobbiest though, just sell enough to make myself some extra stuff.

That Stock cover looks great.  Great work. 

[outrider]

Unlike some I usually base prices on an hourly or sometimes a flat rate.  If you can't do $25.00 per hour your not making any money....don't under estimate yourselves... if a customer wants a custom project done..charge for it..in most cases they can't get the custom stuff done by any of the top companies

That is a Very Nice looking stock sleeve!! (How's that for PG rateing )

I have trouble charging by the hour because it takes me a long time to make things...That being said, I charge $75 for my Buttstock Cartridge Holders...+$12 if you want it black. (I can easily get more than 3 hours into one).... I have a backlog of around 70 days and cannot make them fast enough. I try to make one a day, but I burn out on making them and often only get 1 or 2 a week finished.

[Marshal Will Wingam]

Good design, Farmer. Your work is good, too. $20 is under priced. Like Outrider said, 60+

Oh man i like how you did that reinforcement on the lace area.....

I've done a coupe of shell holder ones,.....
but I didn't reinforce the lace area like yours,....I may have to borrow your idea nice job...

[Cliff Fendley]

I agree with outrider too. About 70 bucks.

[Chuck 100 yd]

I agree. $60-70 seems about right.
I have a feller that wants me to make him one. So many projects and soooo little time!! 
Thanks for posting nice pictures. I will glean some ideas from them. 

[Dalton Masterson]

Wow. I have been working on one for myself, but havent made one to sell yet. I was figuring about 30-35 for a similar cover.
THanks for the insight!
