How Much Would You Charge?

[Chris Milillo]

Someone just called my studio and asked how much I would charge to come to
his house and assemble a brand new Pearl drum set. It's about a 25 minute
ride, each way. What would you charge?

How much do you make per hour average on gig's and teaching?
Say it's 25.00. $50.00 travel time + 1 Hour on site = $75.00 Add 20.00
for gas
and your at 100.00 bucks. This is how I do all my calculations but then you
have to
say is that reasonable? Eat the gas and include nice guy factor make it
$75.00?
Potential customer? All things have to be considered. How's your schedual?
Do you really need the work? If it were me no less then $75.00. I am
thinking
$85.00 is fair. That's cash of course. ;o) However if I smell they have
money
it's an auctomatic 100.00. When I use to do service calls I would scope the
home out.
If I see they have money the price goes up! give them a sliding rate like
between 75 and 100.
If the dude has porche in the drivway they go for the higher amount.

Tell them you'll do it gratis if they sign up for six months of
lessons.

I'd say $100, knowing your basic geography (Brewster area still?).
$100 sounds high, but it costs that much to have the local Geek Squad
come out from Best Buy to set up a new TV and plug it into your AV
receiver. In fact if there's any push-back, that would make a good
reference point for comparison. I'd never pay for that either, but I
thought enough about at one point it to look it up on their website :-)

Thanks for your input, guys. I quoted $75 and he said he'd call me when the
kit arrives (it's in transit). He also asked if I give lessons, so it may
end up being a student, as well.

Thats what they pay for club gigs around here and you don't have to
play for four hours. Good luck Chris.
