When I get a conversion that turns out to be a 30-minute 'run it through the converter and tart up the frontmatter' job I'm usually honest enough to adjust my standard fee. But there was one client who was so in love with doing everything top-class and 'professionally' that he'd have hated to get a cheap job. So I obliged him, although he'd presented me with a meticulously-formatted text-only DOCX.
I've had the same when wearing my musician hat. I agreed to play for a friend-of-a-friend's birthday party, and quoted 'mates rate'. I got constant 'phone calls - Are you SURE you know 'Happy Birthday' - etc. Because I was cheap, they assumed I was rubbish. (I may be rubbish, but I'm not THAT rubbish that I don't know 'Happy Birthday') :-)
