The fact that you feel in even neccessary to ask the question is a disappointment IMHO.
I find it odd that a few OOF members would appear to "require" you to work for nothing .. that is totally out-of-order ... they don't expect TB to do Tech2 work for nothing so why should you.
It is not compulsory for them to have the work done by you .... you are OFFERING a SERVICE ... and they can either take that service .. and pay for it... or decline .. their choice.
I would not have the temerity to suggest what rate you charge .. that is between you and your "client" of the day .. and MUST include things like travel costs, food, drink, parts - if you supply them - and a reasonable amount for your time and SKILL ...
but I would happily pay £25/hour + travel costs to have a job done properly than £45/hour for a stealer to do it wrongly.
Do not let a few who want things done on the cheap detract from the rest of us who are
1. Realistic
2. Honest
3. Hoping you continue this service as I know who I'm contacting when I need help !!
