Pricing is frustratly difficult.  Especially so for engineering types.
It's psychology, not logic. I've stood in awe watching a PO come in
something that carried 95% margins.  I've stood in awe watching valuable
things being practically given away be rejected. 

You could go the Small Business Association for advice on how to set your
price, but  you'll get less information than you'll get here from folks
that have never written software.  You could go to CED and get spammed
continuously and pay $75-$150 for every information event they produce
and I'll bet you $10 you'll still not get the answers you came for.

You asked your question in the best place possible.  This topic has been
discussed in the past on this list, so you can google it out.
