A plain method for pricing a service job: real material costs, labor at a loaded rate, overhead and profit, and how to show it so the client trusts the number.

How to price items you resell

How resellers can price thrift, estate sale and garage sale finds: check what actually sold, account for fees and shipping, and know your floor before you list.

How to keep track of who owes whom, without the awkward talk
