Well, I like to get $20 an hour for my time as well, but until I have more work than I can handle, I keep going even if I am clearing $10 or so as well. But that about pegs it.
That is the target rate I am looking for when I am breaking stuff down.
Wish I could get back to the money that I used to make per hour, but am happy if I have plenty of scrap to break down at $20 and even 10. Mainly because my real job pays a paltry $10.71 an hour and I enjoy scrapping, so if I can keep up with that, then I am happy. I typically get closer to the 20 range though.
It is one thing to do the math on an item and see that it is worth more breaking it down, but yet another when you figure in the time involved and give it an hourly rate. However, people with more time than money won't care.
