How much would it cost in total (approx) for a standing bear form and ready-to-mount skin? thanks

Depends on size...

I just priced one and they vary depending on size, open mouth. R-M skin will depend on whether you do it vs. tannery, also size, also prep work. For a 570# bear, them doing the prep work and tanning, right about $400. But could be half that, depending on whether you do the prep and size. Hope it helps but really need more info. Are you buying the skin or is it for a customer? Have you figured a base? Open mouth? By the way I don't recommend tanning it yourself.

It does depend on size.I think a tanned skin would be $250 to $500.A form would be about the same,once you include shipping.Add another $50 for eyes,earliners,paste,thread and miscellaneous.About $50.00 for base materials-could be a lot more depending on what kind of base.That comes out to $600 to $850.
