I am replacing windows in a flip home and wanted to know what a reasonable installation fee is to install. I am getting the windows for about $130 each(sounds reasonable). But what about installation??

Wow - reading this thread has been interesting. I was told that replacing a bunch of standard double hung windows in my flip would be about $400 per window X 8 windows which included the window, labor, and disposal. So that is $3,200. I ended up going to Home Depot and buying windows for about $130 per window (average) and doing the replacements myself. Each window took me roughly 1 to 1.5 hour each (includes removing old window and old storm frames + caulking inside and out). They were all first floor windows and all required being on a step ladder while doing the exterior caulking. 

On a side note: I posted an ad on Craigslist for all of my old sashes. They were wood and single pane. Within hours I had about two dozens emails offering to pick them up. So I didn't pay any fee to dispose of them. And I took the aluminum storm frames to the scrap metal yard and got around $25 for them.
