European mounts, What is a fair price to charge for European mounts with and without bases?

Back a couple year ago when I was still doing them I charged $95 for the cleaned skull only and extra if they wanted a base or driftwood or whatever. Probably should be more now, and that was for whitetail sized animals.

Thanks James, I received a pm stating $125 to clean and extra after that.

That sounds about right, I has been at least 2 or 3 years since my price so it should be more., How are you planning on cleaning them, I used macaration.

Simmer them in a mixture of Borax and Dawn soap for around 5 hours. It has been working great for me and helps remove almost all the fat and oil from the skull. Is that what they consider maceration?

I charge $125 with a wood panel for deer. I boil and let the sun whiten them, no bleach or peroxide.
