Around here, they charge a 25% fee on top of my sale price. The highest we have around here is 50%. The market is low in Lousiana, though, so I wonder if that is standard in Florida. I am definately going to register all of my pieces for copyright now, but this guy has already shown me what he wants. He wants me to be a factory, rather than an artist. That's not something I want to get into. I have too much going for me as an artist...lots of publicity and commission work...to change my career now. He can probaby find a high school graduate to agree to pour molds for him.
