  The voice of reason!

  I'm reminded of the man who went into a brand new restaurant and was =
shocked to see that hamburgers were $3,495. "What is this all about?" =
demanded the man. "Oh," replied the owner, "We plan to break even our =
first week."

    The national average is just that, an average.  By itself it doesn't =
really mean that much and is hardly a reason for great angst.  Prices =
will vary as a function of cost of living.  You wouldn't expect a tech =
in some small town in the Ozarks to get the same price as someone in a =
very high cost of living area like New York or San Francisco.   =
Certainly, other trade fees vary as well.   That being said, the best =
way to raise your prices is by doing quality work and increasing the =
demand for your services.  Testing the upper end when you are only doing =
3-5 tunings a week doesn't make much sense. =20

        Man oh man.  This really, truly -------- me off, to see such an =
incredibly=20
        low figure published as the national average.

        Is your time worth less than a plumber? A phone repairman? a =
mechanic at=20
        a car dealer?
        A waiter in a fancy restaurant?
