Around here, they do. Or complain about how stuff was so much cheaper 20-30 years ago. (what they forget, is their paychecks were comparatively smaller back then, too.)
Thanks for the help and ideas, guys. It's nice to know I'm not out of line with my pricing, and may need to do some (upward) adjusting as time goes on.... I think once I prove to myself and others around here that I do quality work at a given level, it'll be easier to justify to new potential clients. I just look at some of the shoers around the school (Mitch, Brian, Conrad, et al), and I am nowhere near their level yet, and it kinda sets me back in my place, so to speak.
Bill Lansing, to each his own and I mean absolutely no offense, but it only takes me 5-10 to do borium, and most of that time is waiting for the shoe/ borium to get hot and melt.
