I made my first Avatar for sale. I just wanted to get some advice on how to price it. It is a character from No One Lives Forever 2.

I used some of the textures available from the game but manipulating them to fit the Secondlife Mesh took almost a day of work and creativity.

What is a fair price for this kind of work?

Nice work on the clothing.

As for pricing advice, just charge what you think is fair. I also tend to have trouble figuring out what would be appropriate to charge, but I tend to go with my instincts. If you would like more people to own it, make it fairly economical, while if you would like it to be limited make it fairly expensive. It's all up to you. Hope that helps!

first thing to do is to get a feel for what others charge for different types of avatars... see which category yours generally fits into and kind of play it by ear from there..

personally.. i could see it selling for anywhere from L$100 - L$500. of course, it also depends on how many different pieces of clothing there are.. what accessories are included and so on.

if it were me, i would probably price it around L$200 or so.
