Re: OMG...i need help..

Don't sell yourself short - be sure to charge a fair price. Aim high and you can always drop the price if you like. Also, if you're not sure you want to take on the job you can aim high so it's really worth your while.

Years ago I'd heard 5x the material cost as one way of figuring it. I'd also take a look at the time it will take, and figure a price for your time. If it's a 10 hour job and you want $20 an hour, plus the materials, you might want to say $250 or $275. Maybe higher because there is always the chance you've underestimated on your time.
