[QUOTE="delericho, post: 7695250, member: 22424"] The World Class Chef has nothing to fear from Joe Retired Guy. People will still pay for quality. (Well, unless JRG actually [i]does[/i] match WCC for quality, but if that's the case then one of them is in the wrong job.) The people that Joe Retired Guy poses a threat to are the other small businesses - those who run their own little stands but who do need the money, or the person who runs the breakfast diner where the food is fine but not world-beating. Those are the guys Joe is undercutting and (potentially) matching on quality. (And it's also worth noting that those little guys are under far more threat from McDonalds than Joe will ever pose. But that's outside of the scope of the RPG-artist analogy, so I'll not take it any further.) This I agree with. As I said up-thread, I think donating your time and effort is fine, and I think charging for your time and effort is also fine. But if you do charge, you should charge the going rate - precisely for the reason you give. [/QUOTE]
