The notion that someone should put together an ARF and only be compensated a 6 pack and a pizza is ridiculous. If it's two friends and the more experienced flyer is just acting as a guide, then that's totally appropriate. But if a guy wants to drop off the box he just ordered and come back in a few weeks to pick up a ready to fly plane, then I'm getting paid for it. Otherwise, every squirrel for three counties will be showing up wanting me to donate my time to his hobby. I do help other guys out regularly with basic things, but being generous is on my terms and by my decision. To even suggest that one shouldn't get paid for working on other people's stuff shows a real lack of appreciation IMO.
