I am sure in their job they'd be insulted to get paid $5 for 50-60 hours of work, not counting materials.

You have that right.
I always have people coming into my store and wanting me to tell them how much a ring, that they bought at another store is worth. And they expect it to be free. I charge to do appraisals and whether it is written down or verbal I still have to do the same amount of research to price their jewelry.
Or when I quote a price for a repair the customer tells me "but all you have to do is .........". I have 37 years of experience, I am using a laser that cost me $30,000.00 plus maintenance, Utilities, rent and payroll so I should not worry about doing it for free.
