    I string my own rackets. For labour only I ask 10 euro's. Depending on the strings it will be 12.5 euro (bg65) or 15 euro (bg80,ng98,ultimax66) Guess I am kinda cheap in Holland.

    Ofcourse I charge money for others. Stringing for myself is free ;)

    In my part of Canada, the average at clubs seems to be as follows (ballpark)
    BG 65/65Ti - 22/24$ CAD
    BG80 - $30
    NBG95 - $32
    NBG98 - $34
    BG80P - $38

    they appear to order North American string which seems to be the reason for high prices.
    I order from MBS most of the time and charge less.... mostly just for intermediate players.

    most non-pro stringers charge 5gbp for labour, or roughly 10gbp with strings around here. the pros charge around 12gbp for labour, though quality can vary greatly.

    My stringer charges $7-15 for the strings and a $13 labor fee. Really good stringer too.

    I do stringing only for my friends. Charge 120-140 SEK depending on string (BG65-BG80).
    Racket shop at the badminton hall takes 200-240 SEK ......

    Think I will break even two years after invsting in the machine, from now on every stringing is making me money :)
