PRICING:
How much do
these props cost to make? Some of the smaller cast items can cost as low
as $5 to $30. For medium sized swords with a standard amount
of detail I charge from about $100 to $250. For the large swords
the prices can range from $250 on up. A sword like an AC Buster
for example is in the $300 range.
So, for potential
buyers looking for cheap swords, this is not the place. Each
weapon is one of a kind and created with love and care, not mass
produced in 3rd world sweatshops. So if you're looking for cheap
weapons in a hurry this is not the place.
If you want something
made email me for a quote: mike@fantasyprops.com. I typically ask for
one quarter the cost up front to cover materials and the rest
you pay after I finish your prop. BUT, I may accept less money
down as payment to reserve your place in line under certain circumstances
(large commissions). Remainder of prop price and applicable shipping
fees due when I finish.
To decide how
much to charge for something I consider the materials I use and
the time it takes to make it. ALSO, I factor in how busy I am
so prices quotes MAY vary from time to time. I can work with
you if you have a tight budget (don't we all!). There are always
ways to cut corners on pricing and materials if you're willing
to compromise. We can talk about that in our emails.

METHODS:
I accept cash,
checks, money orders and PayPal
