Mike, you sound like my first Boss in a Machine Shop. But you forgot the Bring your own T.P.
Gray,
Every market is slightly different and as you get more experience you will learn what you can get away with. Most shops think I'm nuts for what I charge for services but I'm the one they call when the other guy skipps out on them and won't finish or fix what they did. Then when they become a repeat customer I reduce the price by 10% for every 10 jobs. 2% Net 30 is what I charge with 50% up front to start.
Your going to have to check the market in your area and learn. This is tough, but most places don't want another competitor in their area.
Thank God there is a young man interested in something else besides video games.
