All lowballers are not created equal, I quoted this woman $500 to to come over and do her survey, she was adimate that I should be able to do it for $350, we finally met in the middle and did it for $425, she was happy and even though I caved on my fee the job was definately worth it.

We quoted a woman $700 for a lot line staking. She said she would take care of it on her own. Then she called back 3 months later saying to do the work and she recalled we quoted her $350... pretty sneaky, but we kept our notes. She looked nothing like that beauty.

So if I understand what you are saying, you paid her $425 so you could do the work for her?

I guess it was worth it if you saved $75 by not going to the strip club this week.

So the cover charge for the Halloween party was $425, and you dressed up as a fur coat. Clever, very clever....:-P

Snoop, I think ya fat fingered your keyboard. The 7 seems right (maybe even an 8), but your math is a bit off.

(7) + (-3) = 4 At least the last time I checked 😉

Low balling eh? Here is another explanation:

A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlor and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool...

After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split.

The waitress asked kindly, "Crushed nuts?"

"No," he replied, "Arthritis".
