had a potential commission for a jewellery box, I've not given a price because if I'm honest I just can't do it for a pittance, it's something I see regularly where people are making stuff for only just a bit more than material cost, that's not a criticism but something I have observed,
so I've said I'll get back to them, they are a friend and he wants it for his girlfriend, he also is not poor and making decent money, actually very decent money.
I've tried asking him what his budget is and he's responded with 'I don't know as I don't know what these things are worth'
I know it's a very complex subject but what is the best way I can price a job like this? I was reading alan peters book cabinet making the professional approach but it's quite complicated how he breaks the process down,
I could do with some advice on it,
regards,
Ben.
