I've been on the other side of that argument. In my case, a client had spent $50,000 on a pretty plain static brochure website. They're not tech-savvy, so they wanted to move to a CMS they could manage on their own.
When I told them it'd be $2,500 to put their existing site into a new WordPress site, they thought I was joking. That was the day that I realized value pricing is a real thing.
In your situation (with money already in hand), I probably would've just told them "Then pay them 0.25 my hourly rate to cover their 10 minutes of work with a 50% bonus. Why are you wasting your time calling me?"

- randomname11235 9y agoOut of the same league, where "If it costs nothing, it can not be worth much": Me working for a large multinational: I would like to support this OpenSource project that we regularly use, can we donate some money? Boss: OpenSource? NO WAY. We're not commies. Me: I would like to buy 100 CD's with software to distribute among my colleagues since it will give them the change to learn about some really cool security tools, all installed on a bootable linux live CD. Boss: 10k Only? GO FOR IT! That same night, we spend burning 100 CD's and printing 100 labels. And that, dear readers, was a (really small) push into the development of Auditor, the Linux Penetration Testing Distro. we all learned to love (Hi Max!).
