800 is fair... you could ask for the cam degree job to be thrown in.


I agree...burn that bridge over $1-200. There are just some people you shouldn't do business with until their perception changes IMO. Let him take it to this other shop that is cheaper, I say.




You aren't a business guy and it shows. If the competition is charging less locally, any business owner will tell you that is what determines the price. Might not even be aware he is losing business over a small amount of $$$. That is what sways the buying public many times.

200 bucks for a degree job? Send them all to me.



really? so basically your saying everyone should shop by price alone?
i think some people do that, others shop by reputation and experience. which would you rather have?



Depends. You were the one that was charging a ton for stuff a few years ago and got put off by others delivering quality work for much less. So I would expect your outlook to be different, based on the explosion you had then.

I deal w/ many different industries/trades in my work. It's always possible to find people doing quality work for less than you were paying for quality work. Not everyday, but if you keep an eye out, you will find what you need. Letting the same guy charge whatever he feels just 'cause he does good work is a good way to get gouged.
