how much should a plumber charge to install a shower valve?

no wallls on the shower, valve completely exposed. Job involves removing old valve and soldering in a new one. hot and cold lines in and a shower line out.
Thanks for the responses, it actually costed me $125. That's their minimum charge and yes, it only took them 10 freakin minutes. Hourly, that works out to be $750/hr. Man, I'm in the wrong business!!!
