Cynthia and Michele,
There are always work arounds. If such a section could not be technically set up within the forum, a separate domain site could be set up with it's own members only login. There could be a redirect button on the forum titled "Members Only Pricing Section" that would take one to the pricing section. Also in the pricing section there could be a redirect button to take you back to the forum.

Make the pricing section available only to paid up, subscribing professional members. The fee should be high enough to cover the additional costs plus a profit to make it worth Cynthia's effort.

Mary,
Pricing is everything. Choosing the right price point can mean the difference between success and failure. Too low a price and the public perceives the painting is of little value. Too high a price and the public believes the artists is not serious. The public as a mass is not stupid. Tests show that in large numbers the public is more accurate in "guessing" important factors such as price or outcome than experienced experts.

Geography seems to have little or no impact on the art prices that I have researched in the United States. Overseas may be a different matter.
