Hi Noel,

    I think anyone who's done some kind of custom work has run into
    this. I like to work on a worst case scenario. I figure what the
    price might be....bump it up and tell them that this price will be
    the "worst case scenario". It's much easier to drop the price than
    tell them it's going to be more. I realize you don't want to scare
    anyone off with the high price, but most people will understand the
    situation. I recently did a platinum ring that I way under bid and
    wound up making $150 on a $1000 sale....no fun, but it happens.

Good Luck, 
Scott
