RE: average cost for a mount???
Rack-attack, your times and prices are a little off. Most good forms these days run around $40 after shipping, as does having a cape tanned (after shipping). All in all, a top quality mount usually has over $100 in materials. With everything included, I spend about 15 hours on every mount, but I do my own tanning. When you factor in all the other indirect costs, a person almost HAS to charge $400 to make a decent living. But, your absolutely correct, you get what you pay for in quality and it should be well worth it.
