Well, how much is your time worth and how much time did you spend on it?
How much did your materials cost. I know auto repair charges double what they pay for parts on average around here.
How much time did you waste on it. (I spend a lot of time fixing my screwups as I go along) I don't think people should be charged for your learning time.

How "friendly" do you feel towards the client.

The only thing I've gotten paid for was the gunstock that I took to a gunshow with a sign on it and walked around until somebody bought it. If I calculated it by the hour and didn't take off for redo's I probably made 50 cents an hour. But I did learn alot! lol

So are you more interested in not leaving money on the table or in getting whatever word of mouth you might gain. The biggest deal is "what are you happy with?"
