So, I have this idea of possibly having a chubbygirl minifolio at FC ( Read more... )

Well, I know I would pay for something in the.. 15-20 dollar range for that. Any more would be pushing it for my personal budget. But I'm also a cheap-ass, so... I mean, keep that in mind. The lower the cost, the more sales you'll make, but you can't sell it for /too/ low.

I'm not sure what a perfect price would be.. but yes, I'd buy it for 15-20, so there's that.

You're a cheap-ass *and* my friend, so I figure you'd throw down more cash than if not.

I'm thinking $15, but that might move around depending on my printing costs. Rounding to the nearest five, of course. If I can get it cheaper, the price might drop to $10.

Thanks for your input!

For our compilation portfolio our pricing/details are as follows:
Prints are 9x12 (as far as I know... ish??)

there will be 4 prints from Mandi, Aurora and me plus 3 compliation pieces for a total of 15 total prints.

Printbooks will be $20
CDs will be $15

Yeah I've usually seen folios be from 15-25 depending on the number of prints, the artist(s) involed, or even the subject matter.

Hard to say... if it's a small number and small size, but full color and of a niche fetish... 15-20 ballpark?

$15 sounds pretty reasonable. I'll have to drop into a kinko's and see their costs.

It's kind of a gamble - on one hand it's fc, and if I can sell something anywhere, it would be there. I'm not well known, but in that niche apparently everyone knows me. When I've sold at cons, the response I get is either as an unknown who does decent work or "omg you're jirris!" from people who do know of me.

I also need to figure out how many to do. I'm thinking 10 or 15 copies.

Thanks for the input!

I'd have to guess at around $10-15, myself. I've seen black-and-white folios that size with more prints going around $10 (and if FurAffinity were up yet, I could even double-check a couple artists' journals for stuff they put together for MWFF to confirm); the fact you're looking at color, AND it's a niche topic as Bravo noted, is enough in my mind to keep the value up in that same ballpark.

That said, save me a copy! ;)

$10 to $15 sounds reasonable, I'll figure out the cost as soon as I figure out what printing will be. The problem with doing a fetish folio is a small market. The good thing is that it's a dedicated market.

I figure if I am going to try to sell it, fc would be a good place due to buyer saturation. I would not count on something like this selling at a smaller convention.

Also, sure, I'll keep one held aside.
