Dear Cilient,

You don't!, you politely tell them that you have too much on to deal with their request and wait for the call back when they are willing to pay more. Or, you let them go with someone that will design for that amount and 'smile' at the outcome.

don't even bother. even if you were able to sway them they wouldn't pay more than double for it, and would be a little bitch the entire time anyway
move on and don't look back

Um, no to the last few posts. Tell them how much it costs and dont be a pussy.

Ask politely if they may have lost a "0" in their figure. If they laugh, you laugh louder and be more sarcastic.

$300 ? I thought you were serious about having an effective online presence ?

tell them they got the site cost confused with the consultation fee.

not even worth explaining for $300
- SteveJobs0
or act oblivious and tell them, they are correct, but that instead of $300, you'll give them your $250 hourly 'friend' fee.
"but shhh, don't tell anyone else you're gett that rate!"

What Cannonball said.
Estimate a range of time and tell them the price. Let them runaway if they want, but you may be pleasantly surprised what they will pay if you explain the amount of work it takes, and the value it will add to their business.
A lot of business people will deliberately ask ridiculous prices just to see if you are desperate. It's a common tactic in negotiating.
