Hi, Everyone!

Personally, I think that your giving up ownership of a show should cost the
buyer *a lot*.  Just think about the fact that that person can then do
anything he wants with your work.  

My two cents,

Hi

One of the hardest things to do when pricing your serviced is all the 
hidden time.  I recently had to make up some magic kits for a client, I 
thought my initial price was going to bring me in a tidy profit, but 
when i thought about the time and money spent on phone calls trying to 
source the right stuff.  Plus the hidden extras, bags, instructions 
etc, I just about broke even!

I am now in the process of planning a show for a local adventure park.  
I have already spent several hours talking about the idea with a friend 
who may be a co-writer!  I am thinking of selling the show with 
ownership of props and copywrite passing to the park, or with the props 
and copywrite staying with me.  I still dont know on the percentage 
difference of the two ideas!
All the best
