interesting take on the situation.
so
here is mine.
when it comes to business, and charging a price to do a certain job, generally speaking those that do the job on a professional basis KNOW what it is going to cost to do it. Believe it or not, most sales people, business owners etc... have a pretty good idea of what they have to charge.
now, every once and a while you will get a new customer that feels he or she knows what the business needs to charge better than that owner, and this person will sit there and try to dictate what they are going to pay.
It just does not work this way.
Im not sure what you do for a living but I can with great certainty assume that you know better than I do what your time is worth and what the market will allow when it comes to your pay. Im sure that if I looked at your job and told you that you would do it for me for 1.25 an hour you would not work for me.
See, I run into people almost every day that try to dictate how much I will charge, how long it will take, what my overhead should be etc... and basically, I just as nicely as I can tell them to try another company, because I just cant do it for their expectations.
I guess what Im trying to say is that when you are in a certain business and you know what you have to have to maintain your profit margin (thats what the business owner gets paid from) those people that will try to tell you what you will charge them are in fact considered the a-holes.
before you call other people here a-holes for just having a good time, maybe you should look real close at the way you try to conduct business in your own life.
hint, for what you want done and the cost of the materials, to do it for your 120 dollar limit, you might want to find a couple of the neighborhood kids that are willing to do it.
just trying to be helpful
