Web designers, IT people... can you put a price on this?

This guy is building me a engine in a bartering deal. He says I haven't done enough. Can someone give me a ball park average of what this would cost if someone were to to pay me a $$$ amount. He seems to think everything I do is worthless, and never enough. Now I'm in school and tried to end it because of lack of time, he won't let me go because like I said, it's not enough. He's not even done with my engine. So I can't walk.

1.        Web site was bartered to me to “clean up” his site.
2.        His site was unusable, so I just created a new web site.
3.        Designed new logo
4.        Designed background art
5.        New logo was used for new marketing purposes on banners ect…
6.        Added 2000+ pictures on web site, each with own background
7.        Added Video
8.        Added Flash
9.        Added password area (That he now requested to take down)
10.        Finished a SECOND web site that he requested, “www.Petesporting.com” admittedly much simpler design.
11.         Installed and figured out program for his camera
12.        Scanners where not networked properly, had to fix the network
13.        Install IP address for IPhone
14.        Sweep Shop/help out guys in shop while ask.
15.        Gas $25.00 a week to get there and back one day a week to work on my own engine with "their" expertise looking over me.
16.  Gave him $1200.00 for parts

   Thanks, I have to give this guy some kind of value for this. I cant just call up some IT guy and ask him all this. I don't think?

I wouldn't have done all that for less than $5000. Item 6 alone is worth a lot of $$/hour.

People don't realize how much effort is required to do this stuff. (not to mention, technical, head-work)

We (IT people) are largely to blame for this, I see freelancers under-value themselves all the time.

Wish there were some kind of union of freelancers where everyone agreed to charge an hourly rate.

Most of the work I've done at a "fixed quote" has ended up as a disaster, they tack more stuff on or, factors we don't consider creep up and if you bid what it's likely to cost (which you really *can't* know in advance, especially with wacky servers..) you loose the job.

An HONEST hourly rate fixes these problems nicely and builds a better working relationship with the client.
