Say you've raised your rates because the industry lately have been getting you A LOT OF WORK, then ask for a value that would be interesting to you($200+/h?). If the client runs away, you still have chance to get back to him after a while.

This sounds alright in principle, but I could be shooting myself in the foot for later - I hate to go down on rate ever so setting the bar higher is probably not the answer.

I take the sentiment though.
