All,

    I do trade work. I do everything with my laser (have been for 4 yrs)
    I wont touch anything for less than $15. Chain solders and narrow
    down sizes. The stores retail it for $30 people will have the work
    done. If they tell me people complain about high prices I tell them
    to discount it on their end. It takes them a few minutes to take in a
    repair. They are still making money on it. Don't gouge the jeweler. I
    back out material costs on anything I have to order and split the
    profit difference with the store. That way the customer is always
    paying for materials. I have only lost one account due to pricing. He
    told me he could get sizing done in Denver for $4 I said have at it.
    I have fired him twice before and he always calls me back within
    about six months. 

Cheers
J Morley
