Since Photobucket is a poop right now, I'm not going to post pictures until I have some more time to explore the other options. But I am curious about pricing for ponies. I made what I consider a fairly simply G4 pony out of cute vintage fabric, and my cost of this was pretty much zero. I worked on her for about two hours, maybe three, but I was also watching television at the same time. She turned out quite nicely- the eyes were a pleasant surprise, I didn't think they would be as good as they are- but now, as I am packing her up for the MN Pony Jamboree, I have no idea what to charge for her if someone asks. I plan to also ask at the meet, but sometimes that's hard since you are face-to-face with the artist, you want to be kind, not realistic. I need realistic here.
I actually am excited to post pictures, but it will have to wait.
Given the information, how much would you charge? I'm thinking about $20, with a willingness to drop down in price to $15. She's about 9" tall.

It is all about what you feel is fair to be compensated. If you don't feel like you need to recoup material costs or pay yourself an hourly wage (cuz as you said, you were watching TV anyway), then if you are cool with $20/nego $15, that's cool!
Have fun!

$20 sounds very reasonable to me, for 2-3 hours' work & no material costs. :) Good luck, I'm looking forward to pictures!

i would sell it for 30 dollars

Pricing art is tough, I think even if you don't want to count material costs you should still charge to pay yourself a fair hourly rate. Don't sell yourself short, you may have been watching TV at the same time but a lot of skill went into the work all the same, buyers need to respect that and pay accordingly.
Without seeing a picture I'd say $30. But it's up to you, you're the creator so you get to set your price. ^.^
