This one made me laugh. As if Texas has one post office and it's on the other side of the state. :D

I get $170 for internal gate logs and $200 with external. I, on the other hand, only do it as a means of extra money and not to make a job of it. Most people don't understand all the costs involved. James' list is very accurate and that is why I don't really clear a ton of money. His prices are not that high and are inline with a good quality manifold. Mine aren't as pretty as his for a reason. You are paying him more to get a nicer product. For comparison I make a log in 1 hour and 48 minutes. I also figure on a minimum of $35 an hour clear. Other than that it is not worth it. I don't get out of bed for work for less than $20 an hour. I won't use my free time for any less either.

Thanks man, someone else in the game that knows what I am talking about. Many of you might have noticed my prices used to be much lower before but they were also alot lower quality than they are now, also when you make the change of working part time to working full time to pay for everything there is a big differnce as to how you must charge your stuff.

ill third that ----, people really dont understand the hidden costs.

dave, we target a budget audience though.. so its all good.

yeah you wont find many people spending 255 on logs though, for 255 thats mini ram territory.

hehe

if i were to do it full time, id charge more also.

Ya that is exactly right, that new website cost me $300 and then I still have
monthly payments to keep it online, I have to keep it updated and working, etc.
Funny how this thread turned into why manifolds cost so much when its purpose
was supposed to be a "grade my new website".
