Agree with the other guy's but the bit I don't understand was " I do not do business this way" what did I miss.

Had someone call me today "Hello is that Simon,I've been given your name by someone,I need my kitchen floor tiling 17 sqm,need doing as soon as poss,How much for cash?
£400 +MATS.
"For CASH,thats your final price?
"I wouldn't be willing to work for less,that would mean me working the weekend to do it as I'm already snowed under with work.I don't need the work to be honest.What sort of price was you thinking of out of interest?
£280 inc mats.It is for cash.
Most of my customers pay me cash anyway and I have to say for that price you might aswell do it yourself for the quality you'll get off someone for that price.Ask a house husband not a tiler because no-one good will ever work for that price.I wouldn't dream of working for that,the mats alone will cost you £65 to £85 at normal cost.
If anyone ever asks for money off my price,I give them a look which says they've just caled my mum a *****.I never give money off,my price is my price.I always give a competative quote anyway.People will always try it on.
Stick to your guns always:41: :wink_smile:

Had a similar thing last night. Rearranged my jobs so that I could tile a hallway as guy wanted it done ASAP. Phoned last night to confirm that I would be there on Friday and he said that he had managed to get 'A friend of a Friend' to do it.
Why don't they have the decency to let you know!!!

I'd of probably gone in at around £950 all in, depending on what was involved.

Eh he is going to be paying 795 by the time vat gets added in! If he is paying vat then it must be a contractor, who I very much doubt would be charging that price. He called your bluff and you did the right thing!
craig t got it right...he quoted £50 less than you so the guy was probably just trying to pull your chain.
I had a similar quote the other week...45m2 of porcelain had to start in 2 or 3 days time and finish in a week (subsequently found that tilers from London were coming to do it and didnt show). Priced it at £1500 originally...labour only as he had everything provided. Got the "what about for cash?" question so said £1400 lowest price as he had everything there and cash or cheque made no difference. Got it and did it...thank God I had a cancellation to fit the job in
