Can all the Eclipse ID's post here so we can get together and have similar prices?
and maybe an informal guild?
It would be nice to know who to refer too

My Master ID is Karinna

I'de be willing to use a design for pricing but I cannot in good faith charge people through the nose for certain things.

I have people just tip. I tell them the average tip is 1k-3k. I usually get 3k.

Yeah I agree TooVee I'm not going to be charging 50k for stat changes.. unless the person really sucks But I can see charging 10k or 12k a pop

But I think 1-3k for everything is too low too, when you think about how much time it takes just to do it now, and all the new options they will want to see first.

One guy on another thread mentioned charging for time blocks, and I though that was interesting.
That way when the guy takes 45 minutes to pick his eye color I'm not just getting paid 1k for it.

Or maybe have something like 1 change or 5 minutes(or however long) for like 3k
2 changes or 10 minutes for 5k
3 changes or 15 minutes for 10k

that way if someone takes 15 minutes to decide on a lip color you get 10k if they do it in the alloted 5 minutes they pay 3k for the 1 change option.

Because to me what I'm selling here is my time.

I'm also a master tailor and if a person sends me a detailed mail with a bunch of things on it I have no problem doing it right then and usually at a nice discount or I throw half of it in free.
But when I get the "mak m3 lok kool but i dont no wat i want" tell I just don't answer anymore or tell them i dont have my resources with me, because I know its going to take at least 45 minutes to make the guy a pair of pants that he will want for 1k

But if there is a set price guide I can tell the customers what it is and not end up hating all my ID customes like I do with my tailor ones I make all my money off my vendors now because I burned out on customer service back in last september

I like this idea very much. With all the new colors, there will be a lot of browsing and that will take time, and I think charging for that time isgood. I too do not want to browse the master palette with someone for 30 minutes only to be told "kool kthx I like my old color srry! ^_^"

yeah I'm thinking I'm going to charge that way, give them the option of time blocks or flat fees
