Quoted from Whysnow:I probably should really put a value of over 8k on my FT anyway. Over 3k in parts, plus over 250 hours in labor and I am probably still underselling my work if I just valued it at $20 per hour (5k in labor).
Unless you refurbish pins for a living ( maybe you do, I have no idea ) I think it's pretty far-fetched to expect to be credited to the tune of $20 for your labour. I'm pretty sure that an overwhelming majority of people in this hobby don't even bother to put a value on their labour or when they do, it amounts to probably $2 an hour, certainly not $20. In a community where lots of people do their own work, how can we justify wanting to be remunerated for the work we do on our own pins ?
