I'm curious about the average pricing in different area's, different states, cities etc,... I get told I'm to low in my area but at the same time I've also thrown jobs to some competitors when they're out of work. I'd love to hear some thoughts on it from everyone. Seems to me this site used to have a page with average pricing but I can no longer find the page for this. Thank you in advance, Robert Scoviak.

I'll list what where and how I have been basing my prices on mostly:
