I used to throw out numbers and almost always underbid. These days I ask for the budget, figure out how many hours that comes out to, and tell them what they get. I never give a number before the potential client tells me what they can spend. They know what they can afford so why play games?

Unfortunately some clients like to play this game and don't mention their budget. In my opinion this makes it worse for both sides.
