How long on average does it take to rig a character that's simple but with a few features?

I've been using CH for animation for a while and want to apply for some CH gigs but a lot of them include rigging the character too. I've taken a lot of tutorials and have made a few practice rigs swapping out the art from existing rigs and they work fairly well. On Fiverr and Upwork some people are charging $20 for rigs and others $200+ but a lot factors into that including what country they're located in and the complexity of the puppet.

I'm talking to someone now and the character would have maybe two 3/4 views (can't be flipped), blinks, lip-sync, draggable arms, and some dangle added to the hair.  I'm just wondering for someone that makes rigs a lot or was ever employed as a CH rigger what the expectations are so I don't scare a client away with an estimate or end up selling myself short. Thanks!

The more you do it, the easier it gets. The only answer I have for you is to figure out how long it takes you to do it and then figure out how much your time is worth. A freelance artist should take into account what their daily expenses are to come up with an hourly rate that will keep the roof over their head.
