I just priced a job for a homeowner. My total quoted price came to $1910 and I also had a separate price in there for a new GFCI receptacle to be pulled off of the panel.
I got an email from him yesterday saying it broke his budget and what could I do to try and get it closer to $1500. I made some suggestions for things we could delete.
I got an email from him this morning that read, in part, "You do the job as you listed for $1850 and throw in for free the GFI outlet by the stairs".
I can understand trying to haggle and seeing if I'll bite on a lower price but I really think it takes nerve to offer me a lower price and on top of that ask me to throw in something for free. What am I a car dealer? Do you want the undercoating with that? How about this I'll throw in the clear coat on the paint for $99.95?
Sheesh.
