Are there standard sizes for handdipped candles? 6" or 9" or 10"? Or something else? Are diameters usually 1"? Also how do you price your candle pairs? I really don't know how much wax is in them but labor costs are pretty high.

Hand dipped tapers can be any size but the most common seem to be 6,8,10 and 12" with a 3/4 or 1" diameter. I have seen some that are very fat on the bottom, about 3-4", almost a hershey kiss type shape, that were very cool.
As for pricing, a lot depends on the area where you will be selling them and competition in that area.
You can get some idea of pricing by going to Ebay.
