If you're not going to have them do the work you might as well not overpay for the RAM too. If you're going for an upgrade to 8 GB the sticks shouldn't cost more than $45.
Diy
You should be able to do it yourself. If in doubt, check out youtube and you'll probably find a few videos showing you how to do it. The computer is designed so that the RAM can be upgraded, so I don't see why you need to pay someone at BestBuy to do what you most likely could.

I would not pay to have it done.

Unless you're doing said RAM upgrade to an iMac lab with 24+ machines... gets a bit tedious after the first 3 or 4.

I agree man, honestly go into radioshack and ask if anyone there knows how and offer them a few bucks, they will likely do it for free, i did this more often than you'd think when i was employed there.
As stated above multiple times, just do it yourself. Upgrading RAM on apple machines is dead simple and doesnt void your warranty. You can buy RAM for less than that and with 10 minutes and a screwdriver you can put it in yourself.
Kids today.
Yeah when I was younger I would forego the $10 and go for the six pack
