From a buyers point of view buying sub contract work would be very risky so I cant imagine anyone wanting to pay much.
The usual problem of the customer cancelling is doubled by the risk of the main contractor pulling out on you also.
Personally I would ask for some form of time guarantee to safeguard any investment.

I wouldnt be prepared to give you any money for sub contracted work, unless there was some form of guarantee like Neil said.

How long does it take & do you work alone? These factors will effect the value
