    The fact that my expertise and experience as well as on hand stock
    entitle me to make a profit when guiding a client in the right
    direction. The average consumer won't know all of the nuances that we
    know and will therefore order the wrong size, type, style part than
    what they need. They pay us not only for what we do, but also for
    what we know. We all have spent hours consulting clients, drawing,
    this will work but that won't, etc for free. Has anybody been
    successful asking for a flat rate to do this? I think not.
