Around here it's between 10-15 bucks. Fair enough considering shop time,
but more than I'd like to spend.

I patch my tubes with Remas until I get around to replacing the tubes
every couple years. I don't even pull the wheel off the bike, just pull
out the little bit of tube that needs patching--like a hernia operation.
;-) Five minutes if I'm slow and costs 25c or so in materials.
