Reputations R US.....
Andre,
Great post ! Thanks for the kind words and the
"plug" .....But trust me,there's nothing great about me.
I'm just me.Nothing special.I just try to do a "decent"
job for a "decent" price with a "decent" turn-around time.
I'm not about "gouging" anyone.Never have been.Never
will be.I think my price and job-guidelines are very fair.
I'm sure some don't, but oh well,you can't please em' all and
I not about to start trying.What you see is what you get.
I don't think $5.00 a figure is asking too much although
some do.I can and do negotiate pricing but I'm not going
to do this for free.The paints not free;The decals aren't
free;the chinstraps & facemasks aren't free.SEE where
this is heading......blah,blah,blah.........So why should
I or anyone else do this stuff for free or next to nothing.
I'll do it as cheap as i can possibly do it at times.Believe
me,I've lost money over the years doing "solids" for guys.
But like I said,the materials aren't free and our time should
count for something.Hey,when people are on their jobs,their
time counts for something.It's called an hourly wage/a pay check.So
what's the difference here.None.I'm not ranting just want
to get my point across before someone gets on here
complaining about "high" prices.Not all of us charge the
higher prices.For those that do,well that's their business.Not knocking it.
And if people are willing to pay the higher price then that's
their business,not mine.As I said,I do what I do for the price
" I " think is "fair".
Again,great post.It's about time some sort of reputable vendor
list has been started and posted.I'm sure there are many who didn't
make the list,good or bad.But it's a start.Thanks Andre.
SEMPER FI,
