I'll give him at least $300.

I have that same problem with a mechanic/welder friend that helps me out sometimes.
He wants me to buy him a case of beer and thats it.
I always give him a reasonable amount of money as well as the beer.
I know how much I hate working on my family's computers all the time,
and I don't want him to dread me asking him for help with mechanical/welding stuff
like I do every time any family member even mentions a computer.
