On a semi-related note, a friend of mine was in a similar situation (being a dancer). She resolved it by saying she wanted to go somewhere secluded, so she lead him into the middle of the Dune Sea, and logged out while he got eaten alive.

So now that we've established that a price can be put on you…how much are we talking? 100K? 500K? *ducks, runs, hides* (Kidding, so totally kidding…unless you're gonna do it *hides in a better spot*

OMG ROFL
I would have to say atleast 5 Million. 
That does not include housing and other things like lots and lots of clothes.

It list everything by species so you can locate everything easily. While you are deciding I will assist the next customer. Please send me a tell when you are ready"
Hope that helps!

*The Emperor's theme plays*
I RETURN! That's right my latest post, now with 80% more griping! ^_^
Thisall happened over the weekend.
1337d00d #1> Hey Cirocco can u migrate me?
Me> Sure. My migration price is 16k.
1337d00d #1> 16k? Why so high?
Me> Because my time is precious to me.
1337d00d #1> LOLOLOLOL! Yeah sure. LMAO! If you wanted time to yourself you shouldn't have been an ID! Anyway how about 4k?
Me> How about no?(/disband) Oh anda bit of advice, the next time you want someone to migrate you, you'd be wise no to diss the ID profession in spatial chat.
This guy then asked every other person with an ID tag in the tent to migrate them. They all turned him down.
I was happy the rest of the day. ^_^
Thank you.

I just did my first IDs yesterday after acheiving novice ID. Having a great time with it too.
Anyhow, I have one to add for the worst things to hear from a customer.
A Humand Male wanted to get some things changed and we worked through it all. He was really happy with his new look and wanted to finish with a stat migration.
So we wait....
Then he asks...
Human male: So what do you think of the changes?
Me (trista'): I think it's a very nice look for you. Very sharp. But how do you like it?
Human Male: I like it.... so since you like it.... if I tack on another 10k would you do me here in the tent?
Now forgive me if I missed something but no where in the ID FAQ does it say that ID prof is all Hooker prof. *sigh*

This thread is actually rather funny. I've been through some of these same scenarios (and more). For example, some clients who feel as if they shouldn't have to pay for stat migrations have developed strategies on how to get out of paying for said service. One such example occured the other day.
Customer: I need a stat migration.
Me: Sure.
Customer: What's yur price?
Me: Between 10-30k, your discretion.
Customer: Ok and can you change my hair color?
Me: Yes, I charge 2k for all ID work.
Customer: K, let's do it.
Ten minutes later, after the timer for the migration has finally expired and he is sporting not only a new hairstyle in a new color, but skin color change and eye color change, the following transpires:
Customer: Did you change my hair color?
Me: Yes.
Customer: I can't see it. Looks the same to me.
Me: It must be your cache isn't refreshing. You may need to reboot.
Customer: No all I can see is my helm.
Me: Well reboot from the character selection screen and see if that helps.
Customer: Ok, but yu hafta finish the stats.
Me: (I complete the process, still no money has changed hands because the client can't see the mods)
Customer: Ok. brb
He doesn't pay me, of course, because he claims he can't see the changes and isn't going to pay till he can decide if he likes them. Being somewhat aware of the inconsistency of the memory cache for the window, I assume the guy is telling the truth and let him log without paying me. He returns and says he likes the changes and walks out of the building without paying me.
Me: Um, aren't you going to pay for the stat migration and ID work?
Customer: How much did yu say ?
Me: I charge between 10-30k for stat migrations and 2k for ID work.
Customer: Are you kidding me? You should pay me for this shiet.

"Don't get me started with my rant about the internet's role in killing the English language as we knew it!"
I just started a thread on the "General Any Topic" forum (a forum titlethat has its own grammatical issues)regarding this very issue. It's already been 1-starred. Apparently, not many people agree with us. Check it out:

I never end the session without getting payment. I always tell them that if they don't like what I've done I'll change it back, but payment is required or I cancel the session.
