I mow lawns for a living, get 5.00 a lawn, and i also sold some of my crappy wii, PSP, DS, PS2 and 360 games.
I managed to get 87.33. Not enough for limited edition. But i pre-ordered it.
$5 a lawn?
Years ago I charged $15 an hour. And when I did interior painting it was $80 a room + reimbursement for the cost of paint and any equipment I consumed in doing the work.
You should consider upping your rates. If you're in the US and in case you aren't aware, the minimum wage has risen to $7.25 so if I were you I would at least charge $7.50 a lawn if that lawn takes an hour to do from start to finish, including the mowing, t-blam!-, bagging and cleanup. It boosts your rate, keeps it low enough to ward off competition from others in the area and doesn't increase the cost to the customer by an unreasonable amount.
