Hey gdc23,

Welcome back and Merry Christmas from myself and the rest of the bunch, I'm sure.

Did you take a look at the "For Sale" section? I would, if I were you. Not knowing anything else than what you mentioned, The big items are Power (age, hours & condition) quality of the recon. and a good guess-timate of the cost of materials used in the rebuild. It sounds like he is trying to get normal commercial hourly rates. Many of us have done the work ourselves with excellent results and are trying to cover our "costs." Many are loosing money on the deal, if the have to sell in this market. Figure accordingly.

Just my 2 cents.
