I have heard it said that more businesses go broke by charging too little
than by charging too much.  I would rather pay somebody who knows what they
are doing $100 an hour for one hour than somebody who doesn't $10 an hour
for 10 hours of fumbling around, knowing that at they end they will probably
just muck it up anyway.  Just my opinion, of course.
