What do you think a fair price for running a lot-o batch would be?

good mixed rough from RockShed is $3-$4/lb and mixed tumbled stones sell for $13/$14 lb. SO if you were doing a 4lb batch, the value added is about $10/lb.
this is retail, and likely based n large production batches.
if you are friendly, maybe less. If it is a special request with extra rough (or challenging) stones, maybe more.
at the end of the day, a fair price is what you are willing to accept and they are willing to pay.

It would be a batch of cabs, I think 10 bucks is fair.

There is less 120g time with pre-shaped cabs. You should be able to move through the stages quick. How many lbs of cabs? If you figure 120g, 220g, 220g, 220g, 600g, 1200g, and AO - you have to clean 7 times, and do spritzing 1/2 times daily. you will have about 2hr of physical attention into the job if you can clean in 15 min. You will have some of each grit expended too.
$10/hr would only be $20 - and cabs are more valuable than tumbled stones. I would go a little higher - or negotiate a cab or two.
