Depends on my mood when I work on it, and how often I work on it.
At the moment I'm nearly falling asleep, and it'd take me weeks at this rate to get something good.
However, when I'm awake and stuff I'm much better and could do it in a few days.
Except I've got two other active projects I'm working on, which this would be interleaved with, so it'd probably still take me a few weeks.
My time is more valuable than the average coder/developer, but I'm not even sure what that average is at the moment (can probably google it in a bit), and I'm not sure how to quantify my level of brilliance.
:/
As for how much I coudl get away with... the client is another developer, very probably capable of doing this themselves, but busy with other things. They know plenty of other developers and I'd be surprised if I was the first or last they asked, so there could be some level of competition necessary.

Yeah, I was thinking that. But it is simple to do, so if someone wants to pay me to make one... *shrug*

My local newspaper's website did one fairly recently, I found it hard to hide my apathy when they were trying to pitch it to me over the phone....

As others have said, estimate how long it'll take you (but without being all arsey about how apathetic you suspect you're going to be over the course of the next few weeks, etc), and then pick an hourly rate out of the air. If it's just a sort of side-project and for someone you know who could do it themselves, your rate's probably only going to be about £50/hour, I'd guess.
