I also believe that Responsibility plays a big part in pricing.
When I started freelance my prices were lead by skill level, the
harder the skill, the more unique and therefore the more expensive
(Charging more for Advanced Flash than simple CSS), basic supply and
demand. But now I'm mainly lead by the amount of responsibility the
project demands. Working in-house in a studio where they tell you
each morning what you're doing (and therefore you go home at night
with an empty head and have a good nights sleep) compared to heading
up a team of developers.
Nice link, interesting about the hourly charge thing. It's the same
here in the Uk, people think hourly rates are dangerous.

I' read years ago that directly asking pricing in a public forum is
gauche
and a good way to get a good flame going. At the same time I quoted
someone a price the other day on my first attempt at freelancing
and I could
hear their jaw drop and knew I low-balled my hourly. The problem
is that I
have no idea what I should be pricing at with my level of
experience and am
not sure the polite way to invite a conversation on this. If
anyone is
willing to offlist me and school me as to the etiquette of
discussing how
people are setting their prices and what a medium-advanced to
advanced Flash
component developer is charging right now I would welcome the
guidance-
