Question Are my prices too low? Price comparison please.

[Grey Owl]

After WCAF discussions with other framers, I believe my prices are lower than many? My price for below is $231.00

Size 16 x 20
3 window mats: Crescent 2253 solid rag
1 sink mat: Crescent 1150 2 ply
1 Mount & 1 Filler Mat: NB 8634 solid rag

Studio 22401 7/8" black mat narrow frame; lined with I-film in rabbet

Museum Glass.

How far off am I compared to the rest of you?

Thanks much.

I'm over $300 without knowing if the framed item needed additional labor with the sink mount.

I don't carry Studio, but without the frame I am already over $200

A tad over $300.00

If I understand what you are doing, I'm around $ 320.00.

Like Yiva...I don't carry Studio, but I'm over 200 w/o the frame and no "special" labor requirements.

For that combination I am at $257.

In reality though (depending on the art) I would be closer to $185 using Peterboro alpha cellulose mats and AFFC backing. I know it is apples and oranges, but to the customer they would appear the same and both be of quality products.

About $320

Like everyone else, not knowing the nature of the item makes it a bit more difficult to be precise, but I'm in the $255 area.
