re: Why do people think that they can get things for free? |

Good for you for sticking to your guns. Keep in mind we teach people how to treat us by what we allow. Also remember that when people get things for free there is no value. I always remind people I would not want to go to the moon on the wings of the cheapest bidder. If you can discount then your work is of lesser value.
So why would someone want to do business with you? What makes you and your service different from others? What added value do you offer your customers? What makes your customer service different?
These are important for the customer to know. What is your area of expertise? If they think you should charge less they do not see value in what you do, so what is your value? Is it your experience, your fast delivery, your custom work, your ability to work different hours?
Do be firm in the fact that you have done your homework on what the going price is for your service, and that you give excellent service. If you were to charge less the quality of your work would go down because you would have to make up the difference in quantity and not quality. You refuse to do that because it is your reputation. Which do they want?
Just my thought,
