Re: Stuiped Priced Quotes..sick of them...
He would have been better off to ask me my budget, then say if he gets here and he thinks its worth £80 then he will do it as it is a 2 hour job, rather than spending 2 hours talking to me, don't get me wrong he was a lovely chap. I don't know why people are so hung up over seeing a job, if the specifications are given, photos taken and it's a small job then whats the point in messing around visiting people, maybe people are not timewasters they just don't want to pay silly prices. Asking peoples max budget may help get rid of what you call timewasters. I have been quoted from £600 to £5,000 to fit my bathroom if the guy who quoted £5k to fit and tile my bathroom that is 5ft by 6ft asked me my budget he may have not bothered wasting my time and his time quoting. So what I am trying to say is asking what people can afford first I think is a good thing.
I haven't even read this thread all the way through as your first post angered me, then I see this one...
So you mean the guy who spent the time looking at your job and specifiying it for the best possible outcome is a loser? and shame on him because little did he know that had he have done a cheap job for you then you would have passed him on to somebody that was willing to pay for a proper job. He could have had it all and been earning the big bucks at £60 for half a day! That would have more than covered his van/fuel/tools/insurance/tax/advertising/time wasters/phone bills/accountant/sick pay/hoilday pay.....
What a loser!
