Too true.  I started a full-time home-based resume and job-search consulting
business 6 months ago, and I found that I filled a niche here in
Vancouver:  other services either charge $250 and up (corporations that
are "career consultants") or they charge $15 (a sideline by someone who
works full time elsewhere, and wants to pick up extra money).  Checking
into the cheapies, I found that you really get what you pay for: in their
case, not much.  Since most job-hunters are unemployed, they can't afford
hundreds of dollars, yet they do know they need a quality product.  You can
start with your rates a bit low and raise them somewhat next year, if
necessary.
