What is your fee?

You get a call from someone, not an agency, asking if you can interpret a meeting. You look at your calendar and see you have a prior engagement. You decline the assignment but recommend a colleague you respect. The person hiring then asks your opinion on the fee they were going to offer.

--if you can't take the job, should you even comment on the fee?
--is it ethical to say, "that is within the range we work", "that is low", or "that is high"?
--should the fee be different since the job wouldn't be through an agency?
