I don't charge enough usually. The Geek Squad charges $100/hr and really mean it. I have seen prices of $800 or more for their services.

I was wondering how he would tell a client ahead of time how he would charge. This situation turned into a big headache because of successive dead ends. Would an IT tech charge a flat rate, or an hourly rate? Would he even bother fixing the issue? I heard Best Buy will back everything up onto another disk and reinstall windows from scratch, and that's it. Well that has a finite, expected cost. But if you want to restore the computer back to where it was yesterday, that has an unpredictable cost. --- On Tue, 7/13/10, Jarvis, Matthew <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Jarvis, Matthew <[email protected]> > Subject: RE: [NF] Question for Nick > To: [email protected] > Date: Tuesday, July 13, 2010, 7:46 PM > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] > > On Behalf Of Michael Madigan > > Sent: Tuesday, July 13, 2010 4:10 PM > > To: [email protected] > > Subject: [NF] Question for Nick > > > > Hey nick, how would you handle this? > > > > > > 1.
