    When I first started working for my currant employer, he was only
    charging $5 for a silver ring sizing because he said the value wasn't
    there (even though silver is often 5 times the work). I pointed out
    to him that a gallon of paint is only $18. But if you are going to
    pay someone to put it on the wall, it's $200 to $400. Any time
    someone ask you to customize what they have, they should expect to
    pay a fair wage. We now charge.
