? for the Bear Experts. - Pics of mount on base added 4-22-08

you did an outstanding job on the Bear and base, what do you charge for the total job?

[J P Baker]

Thanks for all the comments & compliments..

George, it is very hard to find the Bear form you need in the all fours pose and it is even harder to get the customer that wants one mounted that way. After showing the customer different photos of poses and discussing where he would put the finished mount, I asked him to think about how he would like the aggressive pose 5 or 10 years from now. The aggressive pose seams cool at first but, most customers regret doing so years later.


retail price ...

 $2500.00 mount
 $1300.00 base ( I posted a total break down in the base forum )
 $ 313.50 tax
------------------------
$4113.50  total out the door


The customer has picked up his Bear and is on cloud nine / HE LOVED IT !

He had every reason to love it.  You did a great job and your pricing was overly fair to him.

I couldn't agree more with your logic on that "aggressive look".  If you have a game room where a piece is going to interact, that's one thing, but a beautiful piece of work like that one needs to stand alone.  Great job.
