I think Richard's pricing guide should be viewed as just that , a useful "guide". When I tried to figure out at what rate to sell my work, I spend a lot of time on the Internet finding artists whose skill I felt I matched the closest. Then I compared the sizes head and shoulder, 1/2 figure, etc and looked for the average price that was being charged.

As an artist nothing is more dissatisfying then to sell something you have labored over for a nickel and dime. Whenever I feel doubtful weather or not I am priced too high, I remind myself how expensive mass production prints are. That makes me feel much better and at ease, after all what we produce are one of a kind originals, custom orders!
