    Why don't you do a cost analysis for him. Factor in all the
    littlecosts that aren't immediately apparent. No doubt he is losing
    money. 

    I charge at least $20 just to polish a ring. If you just hammer it
    up one size I can see charging $45. To cut and weld adding gold, I
    charge more. It is not worth the time it takes to clean polishing
    compound off my fingers to charge less.
