New Career choice

I might be moving by the end of the year, if this happens I refuse to drive 60 miles one way to go to the next town over to work and then drive 60 miles back after work.

So I been playing around with the idea of running either an E-Bay business, or a "mail service" business.

I wanted to ask what people think about the following prices for services rendered.

Instrument cluster LED conversion with needle and number restoration (repainting of markings and needles) $330.00 labor.

Parts # look up (looking up part numbers for select vehicles for people that are missing a part) $60/hr.

Parts location (looking up part number customer needs and obtaining said part) Cost of part + $100 fee.

Fuel pump rebuild. Dual Action and Single Action. I havent figured out a cost on this but thought of offering a cheaper economy option where the pump is painted via Eastwood cast aluminum paint where the more expensive option is beadblasting the pump housing and using satin finish diamond clear from east wood.

What does everything think on the prices? Reasonable? I might not do all of it but some ideas I have been throwing around today.
