Default How much should I charge for a set up???
I have a question. If a medical marijuana shop asked you to build them a clone display and maintenance set up...not a grow room or anything fancy...just a nice set up to water, light and maintain clones for sale, how much would you ask for? My plan is a mini-hydroponic set up with a resevoir (plastic storage bin with holes and a cheap pump) set up on a timer to water the rockwool three times a day, a "MacGuevered" CO2 generator, and some simple 2500 Lumen florescents hanging over a modified, bargain store writing desk. The good thing is that I actually am an artist in my "Other Life", so I can take the Sandford and Son-esque crap and put some design to it, making it a nice addition to their shop. I figure, with some shelving, tubing, and silocone glue, I can pull it in for about $80 to $100, depending on how much I can score at the dollar store, vs. what I have to surrender to the co****cking MO**** F**ckers at Home Depot.
Ahem...excuse me. Bad experience...

My question is..."how much should I charge?" Keep in mind that the temptation to eventually work in the legal marijuana trade is very tempting, and I really do like the good folks at this co-op, but I still need to eat and all. I'd like this to lead to more work, but I also don't want to come off as a target for cheap labor.

If you were to make a "Tupperware-fabulous" Hydro set-up that would take you about a day or so to build, depending on how well the glue took, what would you charge? I'm bad at asking for a fair wage, and knowing me, I'd agree to be paid in pot...I just want to know how many grams...I mean dollars...to ask for.
Any advice?

Thanks Rascalone,
Good advice. Like I said, there is a suck up factor that I don't want to give up...if they know of my dream of being a pot farmer, they might try to take advantage...Although, having all the pot I could smoke, I probably wouldn't notice.
