[QUOTE="LiamSmith, post: 6087, member: 1766"] I have spent the last couple years just doing bar band sound, weddings, small festivals, town festival sound and have built up a small name for myself and a bit of a collection of gear. So, every now and again I get people asking to just rent parts of one of my PA's and I just tell them to hire me. Usually they do... But, another local sound guy who's has helped me become a better mixer is asking to dryhire some pieces of my PA. I gave him a price and he outright agreed (I guess its very reasonable but I really don't know). How do you ready your gear to be dry hired and then what is the protocol usually for retrieving gear? Also, for the future, how do you guys usually set prices? How do you base the ROI? Or do you put feelers out and test what the local economy will support? I find every time I do that I end up working my bones to dust for almost minimum wage. [/QUOTE]
