Mike,I agree,his prices are very reasonable. But with this economy,where a lot of people are out of work,or working at inferior paying jobs than they're accustomed to,trying to get a little discount should be expected by all business owners! The world has to be more competitive,even businesses that do excellent work,at fair prices, like QC. Never hurts to ask! I'm sure Bill would understand,he's a smart guy! Just my RandyB
