straightforward 20x16 or 50x40cm frame with a mount, glazed, print fitted: (10 or 15 minute job)

Price to the customer for one unit, over the counter, including VAT if you are registered ("till price"), your usual standard glass product, your usual over the counter mount board product, should cover all the bases, no comments required or conservation policing - ie "Run What You Brung" the stuff you sell in your shop to your average customer.

I'll kick off:

cheapest on the board moulding choice: 30.93
top of the normal range moulding: 85.67

39 TO 82. hAVE FOUND A VERY SIMPLE LITTLE HOMEMADE PROGRAM ON EBAY FOR SALE FOR 14.99. A FRAMER DEVELOPED IT HIMSELF TO USE AND THEN DECIDED TO SELL IT! ITS FANTASTIC FOR ME, HAVING JUST STARTED. DOES INVOICES, WORKSHOP NOTES, CASH FLOWS ETC. ITS MAKING ME (A PENCIL AND PAPER TYPE OF PERSON) LOOK PROFESSIONAL AND EFFICIENT!!

[stcstc]

[prospero]

[absolute framing]

€54.20 to €203.20

Finding it hard to compare prices to Sterling Zone. I dont think exchange rate is the best method as it was x 1.5 and now its x 1.2

Just wondering what the prices are for the following in the UK area

mars bar
cappuccino to go
broadsheet newspaper

[barefaced framer]

From £36.60 to £95.90

[Roboframer]

Bloody expensive mars bars round your way!

[absolute framing]

Well, around here it's approx €1.10

So if it costs £1.00 your way i'm off on pricing

However if your .60p i'm in the right ball park

I know it sounds a bit strange, but it's a bettter benchmark than exchange rates.

[Roboframer]

Can't help you on the mars bar or the coffee but the Daily Telegraph costs 90p.

[Steve N]

Average from £30.50 to 81.20 and above

[framejunkie]

Well, around here it's approx €1.10

So if it costs £1.00 your way i'm off on pricing

However if your .60p i'm in the right ball park.

Current exchange rate is 1.18 euros per pound

In London a Mars bar is about 50p
A cappuccino is £2 to £2.50(but we all drink skinny latte here darling - cappuccino is so provincial! So 20th century!!)
Do they still have newspapers? how quaint!

[jon buck]

Perhaps it would be a good idea if we all quoted on two precise mouldings, we would then get a better comparison.

Just for giggles, our bottom of the line (simple black, document frame) would be $100.90 (£60.00) while out median price moulding ($13.80) would run $156.90 (£93.30).

We don’t have a sales tax (VAT), nor are we in a particularly high rent district. Our prices compared to most U. S. Grumblers are slightly on the low side.
