I'm not trying to be in the middle I said 150 is what I'd charge150 is quite close to the middling ground infact only £15 out from middling ground

But it's all irrevelant really it's down to Paul really and what he is happy to do it for
Yes Stevie. THAT'S MY POINT /emoticons/wink.png . Unless you're working Barnsley yerselft and know Paul's personal circumstances, how in God's name can you give the man a guideline? With Peter and Tuffers quoting the 100 and then Tik's 250 ( Ah,,, i remember Canary Wharf going up ). When i said i found it amusing it was simply down to one quote. Yours. Tuffers cut you by £50 with the reasoning that there was always somebody cheaper. You agreed with him....it just read so funny. Like i said, it's a bloody good job were not quoting for work in the same area.We'd all be working for Tuffer's.......at minimum wage.....hang on...what's this on Universal Jobmatch ???

Blimey Jake, i think your dummy cracked the pavement.

I'm not repeating meself.

The only two sound bits of advice he was given was by EvieStevie and Tuffers.

Theres always someone that will do it cheaper and how much is the job worth to him.

Those two statements alone make anybody giving him a quote void.

'Undercutting each other like gladiators'?

I don't understand where you even got that from? Who's undercutting?!?

Sorry jimbo, I just don't understand what the heck your on about o_O

Jimbo must be having a bad day!

Wonder if he quoted a job wrong ha haha couldn't resist!sorry jimbo

 
Either that or I've got the complete wrong end of the stick, seems to me he just randomly had a little pop!?

I dunno jimbo... What we gonna do with you.../emoticons/biggrin.png

 
I really can't deal with thick. Jimbo signing out. Per se.
I don't get your point either jimbo

The guy asked an opinion as he is pretty New to the game

So I said £150 to give him an idea ....

And I wa born n bred in Barnsley !

 
Hi guys
Company wanting a quote asap, sent me following plans what should I quote for this work?

Cheers guys

So Paul put us out of our misery .. How much did you get it for in the end ?

 
It is a two hour job at a slow boat pace (external only). My hourly rate is £40 so they can pay £80 monthly or bi monthly - £100 if quarterly and if anything outside that is considered a one off (still only a mornings work) so £150

Simple. £250?? No wonder your poles gold plated!

 
That's how i would price it..how long it would take x hourly rate plus a beer

No need to be greedy

Plus hourly rate means how long it takes the first time

The fact it is quicker for subsequent cleans is irrelevant so then you are quids in

kick offs are quite funny in a way...but we all in different moods and different times and so you have to give some leeway to peoples posts...

and there has to be a top and bottom price...I know for a fact a certain lurker king member would charge more but...

a good point tiktik on the wait for your money bit...can be a pain....but then again...AS LONG AS IT ARRIVES....(and he does live a bit away)

my contract work is like that but...as I do it ....last month arrives so doesnt really matter....except for the first clean.

anyway my mood at the moment says...

your all a bunch of arrogant *******...:whistle::rofl:
