Why not "charge" $90 per hour and then offer to "come down" to $75?

Why open the door to negotiation? If you're in a position to charge $75/hr with confidence, then charge $75/hour. With confidence.
I think you missed my point. Charging "$90 per hour," some people will just give you that; that's obviously better for you. There will still be people who hope to get a discount, and now $75 seems like you're doing them a special favor.
