    Brad Simon of E-bench offered some software that lets us come up
    with a rational price list.  Hopefully it is still available.  You
    simply put in 3 metal prices, labor and other overhead costs and
    abracadabra, a 2 page price list.  Only down side is that it needs
    Microsoft Excel as a base, so if you don't have that, it can be right
    pricey.  The nice thing is that it covers the basic repairs, and once
    you have done your initial cost calculations, it can be adjusted for
    metal prices in minutes.  Very handy right now.  The real beauty is
    that, as long as you put in the time to carefully and realistically
    calculate costs, it will give you prices that are sensitive to 
    all of the regional variations in rent, labor cost and other overhead.
