@Stut: good points about freelancing, it's also worth noting that a

charging 'top dollar' will probably not end up costing anymore than

charging half as much because they generally get the job done in half

as Stut pointed out, they're liable to deliver stuff that you can rely
on rather
than have to pray it works.
Jochem:
Seriously, after I told one client that I charge $50 per hour, told me
that he never paid more than $25 and would I work for that? I replied
"Yes, but it will take me twice as long to get anything done."
Strangely, I wasn't hired.
lucky you. personally I don't work for people like that anymore,
they pay peanuts and they are never ever satisfied. karmically speaking
it's likely he got himself a monkey and the resulting project mess as
well.
Too bad that it's considered bad-form to discus what rates we should
charge, for I certainly would be interested to see the range.
bad form heh? that's a challenge, round here the rates are somewhere
between 25 and 80 euros/hour for the kind of stuff we do, on a freelance
basis ... if you go a company the going rate is somewhere between 50 - 120
euros, most companies use different rates for different tasks e.g. (from most
to least expensive) art direction, system design/development, backend
programming, design, frontend programming.
