You should charge for the value of your work. If you do not know what
you are worth, maybe you need a little more time in the workplace.
I was able to get a clients product to market six months ahead of
schedule with five days of work. He gladly paid me 25K for my five days.
I am sure he made it back 10 fold.

Actually discussing such a thing would put the discussion participants
in
the US, at least, in jeopardy of prosecution for unlawful price-fixing.
Not
a good topic on any public forum in the US. You need to price it based
on
the time you expect it to take you to develop it, plus whatever
additional
revenue you think you might garner from the retention of the source.
