Got a call that a band needed a steel today at a USO event. Airline has 'misplaced it'. They offered me $100 for one day. They would pick up and deliver it. Should I charge more?

Steel is a '74 msa classic that I never play.

If the airline company is paying for it, I'd ask for $250

Sounds fair to me, so long as there's some kind of written assurance of replacement value in case they "misplace" (or damage) yours, too. A USO show sounds like a worthy cause.
