Pricing the map

raganiBefore the the map is ready to put into the BayCon art show, I have to figure out a couple of things.
Right now the map is as-is, a piece of rawhide with henna. It is stiff when dry, and does not lay flat. I was thinking that I should oil it before considering it finished, but I am not sure how much more I should do. Is there an easy way to mount it that would make it look more finished, yet not detract from the rustic quality?
Also, I need to decide what the Direct Sale price and the Minimum Bid price are. So, how much do you think this piece is worth? OK, for those who are wondering, I don't know how many hours I actually worked on it, especially since I tended to work on it while waiting for customers, but I would guess about 10+ hours. As for the cost of the materials, if memory serves, it ran me about $50+ for all of it.
Right now I am thinking $500 for the Direct Sale price, and at least $250 for the Minimum bid price. Does this sound reasonable?

Thanks!
