Learjet, I don't even believe in that last penny thing. I was in a bad mood for awhile. Some people can do that to you. If you were to see my invoices, you would know that I'm more fair than most. But my prices are my prices and I can't quote for the guy down the street and I definately can't quote across the country. If pricing is done up-front and agreed to, then it's a legal transaction and it's up to the consumer to shop for a better deal if they can find it. Those "scammers" are now the most successful service contractors in my area. I'm not going to work for 40% of what they charge just to brag about how honest I am. If my advertising cost go up because people respond better to big adds, then the cost get passed along to some one. Who says that a gallon of gas is worth $2.50, we do because we pay it. The customer always sets the price for any goods or services, when they stop buying the price goes down.
