Custom 3D Life Counters

Gear forum

Posted on Jan. 3, 2016, 8:42 p.m. by GreenGhost

I've made three but I'm unsure as to how I should price them, because I am looking to trade them away or sell them.enter image description hereThis one I was thinking 30, because it took 3 hours.

enter image description hereThis one I was thinking 30 as well seeing as how it took the same amount of time.

enter image description hereThis one took the longest at close to five hours. This one is also the only example of me combining multiple cards into one life counter. I was thinking $40-45.

Are these prices reasonable or are they too low, too high? I have no idea so I figured I'd ask you if these are fair prices and how much you would be willing to pay for one of these.

They look nice and clean, great job!

A quick scan through craft sites seem to say $30 is about right as a price ceiling. Anything more and it would probably have to be something pretty special.

Ok thanks for the look! So is 40 reasonable for the third one due to the time it took and the level of detail?

Present some larger images displaying the detail better and you'd be able to get better deals off of them.

Ok so if I try to sell them online I'll use high Res pics. Thanks!

As someone who previously helped an mtg alter artist, the best advice i can give is commission work is a lot easier to get than randomly making these and selling them. It guarantees someone will want your work. Good looking though.

Yeah I figured that would be best, but I had to make some stuff so people see what quality of work I'm capable of.

I think $30 is a steal for a one of kind, custom and unique MTG product.I'd say you deserves more than a $10 and hour price tag. Start at $50 and settle for $45.

Nice work man.

These aren't made to order, so they'd go for $30USD. You can, however, offer commissions for a higher price, since the buyer would request a specific card.

Personally, if I wasn't dead broke right now, I'd commission one off of you featuring Titan's Strength, with 4 10-bead bars; 2 bars for me and 2 for my opponent, since I'm more competitive, and my spindowns keep falling over ;_;.

Dang son. Someone has some nice scissor skills XD

You used some sort of craft knife, correct? Also if you start doing commissions post on my wall as I know someone that might be interested.

Wow thanks for all the support! I'll be sure to post on walls of everyone who asks me once I have more time on my hands to make these. Also I used an xacto knife for those wondering.
