Easton Wheel Rebuild

I am looking to get a set of Easton wheels "tuned-up." I need to get new bearings and both will need to be re-nippled. They are Easton Orion II's. What is a fair price for this type of service?

Twenty minutes ago I dropped off an Orion II rear at Roswell Bikes in Roswell, GA and the charge for the hubs only (no spoke work) was $25. Seemed cheap to me. I've used them before for the same thing and I thought it was $50-ish bucks, but maybe that was for both wheels. They do excellent wheel work. (I'm a shill.)
