    David, I know this was not your point but I have to say that all
    "little old ladies" want to hear is that their repair will be done
    in house by someone with experience who will treat the jewelry as if
    it was their own family heirloom. 

    The ones that have balked at the prices I get from your book are the
    twenty something educated male who bought something at a cheap
    on-line discounter. They are the type who come to me because their
    Grandma or Mother said I do great work. Then they want it done for
    next to nothing and on the same day. It is hilarious to see their
    faces when I tack on the extra rush service fee.
