@WashedOutGundamPilot @Humpleupagus @john_rando Many people grew up with $500 clients in their social circle and fear that they'll be held to unpaid support for decades if they carelessly sell things to people.
Same reason I get very apprehensive when family members say I should take up electronics repair, since if my customers end up anything like them, they'll balk at paying more than parts cost and all problems down the line with their (very old) gear will get blamed on me for years to come. Different matter when selling things to people that don't experience physical pain handing over money, which might be the case selling to lawyers, but then hey, maybe they're more sue-happy too!
