Where's the money

Andrew's post caught my eye too! And your reply about scheduling-the tunings
and shop work sounds just like what I'm doing. I live in a region of the
Midwest that is hard to get the same prices for my services as tuner/techs
who live in
large(r) metro areas. I can under bid these areas and get the job, but not
the prices. I was wondering if you live in a large metro area ( as well as
Andrew) and are you aware of the rate differences between metro and rural?
