Charge more for cleaning than for overclocking?

I think people would pay $50 for good overclocking. Repair cost should be specific to the type of repair needed. Like software repair would be good at $30, but if hardware is messed up, a lot more diagnostic work is involved. We could charge a flat diagnostic fee.

Hahahah...I'm a horrible businessman.

Me too. I'm always finding myself charging way too little for a lot of stuff.

Just remember that $100 AU Is $60 US,And Prices here in australia are higher for PC Parts.

That's ridiculous. I think they key to our business here will be to not get greedy. 10% of the price of a build is enough I think. Then we can do $20 to set-up networks, $30 repair, $30 cleaning (takes a lot of work, probably one of the most underrated services), and like $25 for the overclocking.

You may just want to charge an hourly rate,for example i charge $60 an hour ($30 an hour for friends).

But he has to pay for the storefront, taxes, etc. You have to charge enough to turn a profit on it.

Joga we should combine forces.. not sure what Ron would think about it, but it'd be an option. Our website is in sig, first pc sold is currently on the way to the customer.

So you went over her budget and that's not including your payment?

Oh, that makes it all the easier.

 

[JogaBonito1502]

I can easily go under. That's a rough sketch. I don't know exactly what she needs yet so I over did everything for now.
