But that's a mature hobby with regularly issued catalogs with mostly accurate pricing since the prices are fairly stable.

Ha ha!

Good one Steve!

Too bad this hobby doesn't work like that. We have to play the hand we're dealt, unfortunately.

The price paid for turnarounds is based on multiple factors not just value of item but quicker turnaround times as well. So you are still getting the faster turn so therefore should pay the higher charge. If you want to argue upcharges shouldn’t go to the max because you don’t get the quicker turn that’s a different discussion. But expecting fast turns yet cheap rates because you don’t know what you are doing seems rather entitled thinking to me.
