Useful Interesting Article - What Prices to Charge as a Freelancer/Artist

The link to this article was posted over at the TwilightRender forum and I thought it may be useful to post it here as well. Its a question often asked and debated and this article goes someway to advise on this particular dilemma.
Here is the intro to Charles Leo's article, founder of Lunar Studio -
