About $80/hr is the rate I've seen (and paid) to well experienced developers.  We had a pretty lengthy conversation here about it a few months ago which made it seem like you might be able to find experienced developers charging as low as $40-50/hr.

However, I usually like to work with flat rates -- given the project spec and scope, come up with a rate for the whole project.  Because really… the amount of work that can be done in an hour depends on who's doing it.  I.e. I could charge $40/hr but take 3 times as long as the person charging $80/hr.
