People that do that shit just don't get it. $25 sounds like a bargain to me.

I had a guy bring a S&W 442, completely disassembled - if it could be taken apart he had taken it apart - and in a paper bag. He asked me if I could put it back together. I said I could. He asked how much and how long. I said it would be about 20 mins and $50. He said, "You're gonna charge me $50 to put that back together?" I said, "No. I'm gonna put it back together for you at no charge. I'm charging you $50 because I know how to do it.".

He handed me the bag and $50. I gave him back a completely reassembled, functioning gun. But it took me a half hour.
