Simple formula: prepare the quote your regular way then double the number before you give it to them.
That would put my quote just about where it needs to be.

What Rustrp said, I keep mine in their original tubes in my stainless tool cabinet which holds all my welding stuff. The BEST and lowest cost stainless tool chest for welding stuff is sold by Costco for only $399. You have to order them now they stopped carrying them in their stores, but everyone else sells this thing for $500 to $700 plus shipping. You can't beat $399.

dThe key to avoiding bottom feeder customers...
Is to provide added value. If the customer does not want it... thank them for their time and move on.
NEVER give a job away! It only gives buyers the idea they can get stuff for less than its true value...
I've been saying that for years with my carpentry. really bothers me when people try to beat me down. You want to haggle a price, go to a car salesman or a Craigslist sale, don't beat down your serviceman or your contractor... he's trying to feed his family with his hard work..d
Giving your price then give a discount only gives the customer the idea you were too high in the first place or they can beat you up a little more next time.i quote what is fair and that is what it is.if they don't want quality work at a fair price send em packing.good work ain't cheap and cheap work ain't good.learned a long time ago not to shoot myself in the foot.
