I recently put shots of my 2 hiss up on hisstank and the amount of people asking me to make them one is astounding. I've never done commission work and didn't know what to charge. So much to the dismay of my whining and bitching, Rachel used her powers over me to make me put one up on ebay to see what it would fetch and see if it would be worth it to make more. I'm upset about it but you know how women/fincee's/wifes can be. She said I have too many joes and I should take advantage of my talent, whatever the hell that means. But in case you want to check it out....

women, jeez. (no offense to any women reading this, its a case by case basis I know) It's not always about money you know? I just like to make them, its hard for her to understand. But she said I could not build another one until one was gone. O well at least I'll get to make a fresher, better one.

I agree with her. This is a chance for us to get a piece of art.

I think you started the bidding too low. I'm sure it will get up there because its a beautiful piece but I'd have at least started the bidding at the cost of the base vehicle. But that's just me. I'm sure you have your reasons and I respect that (and totally get the girl comin' down on you, mine still gives me looks when a new custom magically appears on the shelf)

Good luck with the auction. If I had any spare cash I'd definitely make a run for it.

It's definitely a cool looking Hiss,i really like the Color.I'll say you'll get a pretty good price out of it,people don't mind paying a little more for a Custom someone really put their Time & effort in.I do have one question,where do you get all the Pack's you put all over it,i've looked around for Pack's like those but couldn't find any.The closest i've came to finding some that looked close to your's is from Build-A-Rama.

Dang, I live in Canada, and no Paypal Best of luck on the auction!

Dude, I have no problem with you bidding on it if you want man. I'll make an exception my friends on here. Just let me know if you want to or send me your ebay user name, so I know its you. I wouldn't alienate my friends on here!!! Thats just same templete I always use on ebay.

And 4-cobra all the big pieces of stowage did come from build-a-rama

Same here Dude! You'll get a great price out of it, but you definitely should start out at the base price. Personally I would also add to the base price(a), the cost of all the stowage and other add-ons (b) plus cost of paint (c) then add at least 15% (d) of that to a final price for a commission job [a+b+c+d=X]. It's a reasonable price, gives you the practice (not that you need it) and above that puts a beautiful piece of art in the hands of another collector!

BTW, Mysterious Stranger - I know the look you're talking about, my wife looks at me with that "I can't believe you've done it again" look, then goes out and gets shoes....Oh well.
