Not really, as the price is regional, as well as varying greatly from shop to shop. Best to call around, then pick one that falls in the middle: expensive enough to be quality work, but not rediciulously out of range.

I don't normally order large amounts of glass, but my shop I buy from told me that glass waste is also involved in the cost as well. If they have to waste a full sheet to make cuts they charge for the full sheet. I have gotten some good deals on small orders like sump baffles because they could use waste to make my pieces.

That is the same way it's done in my city.

I'd say $15 per piece.

Most glass shops will combine your order with other orders so there shouldn't be that much glass waste. The pieces that you want should be able to be cut from a 24 1/2" X 30" piece. Not that much glass just a bunch of cuts. I'd call around to a few glass shops. I know down here in south Florida the glass business is very competitive and most glass companies can take that out of scrap.
