I have never charged family for shit....family has never charged me for shit.

Like many here I am of the mind that you just help family out with the smaller things, especially if you are close to them. You said it wasn't a lot of effort and it's not like he asked for a $20K DB driven website or a product catalogue or something.
If he can't help you professionally, I am sure he's has or will with something like with a move or a DIY project etc.
My wife's uncle's a plumber and has helped us with renos and saved us a ton of money. Never expects more than a couple beers. When he has computer probs, wifi etc, I help. Money doesn't cross our minds. It's just what you do.

Alright, cool. I won't mention anything about money to him.
Though I anticipate the next time I see him, he'll pull out his wallet and hand me $200 or so. Should I accept it?
Teach me how to act, QBN... teach me teh ways.

bill him full price. and on the bill take a red pen and cross out the total. also write free beside it. that way he would know how much you value your work and family.
- haha. interesting. but this can also be seen as a dick move.CanHasQBN
- Yeah, looks passive aggressive.ETM
- well that's me, i'm sick of poeple asking for freebie and thinking it doesn't cost much anyway.pango
- so this is my way of letting them know the cost with out being an real up tight sonavabitch.pango
- Next time ANYONE does pango a favour, ensure to let them know the monetary value of said favour.ETM

Get a free taillight for the four wheeler you don't have. Put it on top of your christmas tree next year. Invite him over for christmas dinner. Happily ever after.

$300 is a fair price for a day's worth of work.
