I'd think an artist would want to charge a pretty solid price to avoid diminishing the perceived value of their work.
Also, if you haven't done it before, trying to get giclees made with excellent color fidelity is a very time consuming (and sometimes impossible!) process. Whenever I've done it for myself (to make sample copies of my commissioned work that I then show locally) I've spent hours with the color guy at my local giclee place tweaking things before getting something satisfactory.
Aside from your time there are also several costs involved: getting a very high res digital scan of the original, doing the color correcting and creating test prints, the giclee print itself (which I've had printed on canvas), stretcher bars and then framing.
I can't suggest a specific price but I hope this gives you some things to think about, anyway. I'd be very interested in hearing how you decide to proceed.
