This isnt always true. If your customer doesnt really know what a fair value is, and you overcharge them (although they pay willingly) if they later find out what market rate is, you prolly just lost yourself a customer. Now, you can go slightly above market rate because you are an elite expert (arent we all ;) heheh) in your field, and your time is so valuble. But, dont take advantage of your customers, but remember, how much they want to spend on something is up to them, so unless it is really not fair to them, then you should accept the deal. Also, you can just tell them, Look, i want to accept your offer but i dont know if it would really be fair to you, this is what i've charged my other customers: xxx. you know?
