so i did a couple projects for a friend (yes, i know first mistake) and now hes bitching about the price...which makes me question the price i quoted.
i ended up doing 5 posters (all separate designs) for the company he works for, and charged $150
...am i being stupid? am i over-charging?

How much time did you put into it all? How much do you charge non-friend clients?
- If you quoted a price, and he still said do it, he should just STFU about itlocustsloth

I worked at least 12 hours on all of 'em (they were pretty simple)
thats the thing, i'm new at this freelance business...and haven't really charged (at least enough) in the past

All in all, you were making $12.5/hr. I think you were being more than reasonable.

you're not being stupid. you're not overcharging.
you're friend however is stupid and cheap.

This is why it's never a good idea to work for friends...if you're gonna do it, just work for free.

Do you think your friend is being pressured to get the price down by the company he works for?

^yeah, i thought of that.
perhaps. which is funny, because hes making bank. but thats neither here nor there. that fools getting a deal, so i guess i better just go collect

Dude its $150 bucks! What a cheap bastard.
I would be embarrassed to even have that conversation with you, if my company wouldn't pay, I would come out of pocket.
With friends like these right?
