I got/get lots of offers, but in general the projects were pretty uninteresting (so many clones), people didn't really know what they want, and I found that what people really needed was someone to think through their ideas with them, not a prototype.

At that point in time 5k was reasonable. The price would go up quite a bit if I were doing it now though. But I doubt I'd do it again - the work didn't end up being as exciting as I thought it would be.

What I would consider doing in the future is the "idea consulting" I discovered most people ended up needing. I have a knack for pulling things apart and putting them back together in interesting ways :)
