Terry:
Here's a thought for you and any others who want chime in. I believe that we 
have lost the art of valuing ourselves and translating that value into the 
costs we transfer to others for the services we perform for them. If we 
really think hard about what we are worth as a function of what we need to 
live happily in the world, then why do we need to mark up parts at all, other 
than carrying costs?
