How do you guys accurately estimate a custom cage? I've heard people saying they charge per point? How much per point?

Re: Quoting a custom cage?
Price out the total cost of materials. Price out the labor when you actually build your first one. Use that labor time to pick a reasonable price on labor for that particular "point" cage, and price the other ones you do relatively to that base you have. It's easiest to price out a cage by point (6,8,10 etc). For any small custom add-on's or requests it's just as simple as figuring the extra labor time and material cost for whatever it is.

And Toxic, is that the price using chromoly?

Must be for a road racing setup. A lot of them use that as extra protection

~200 a point for chrome-moly seems to be the norm. Although 6-8 point bars are usually priced cheaper. So say 13-1400 for an 8-point instead of 1600(at 200 a point).
