Both Rick and Roger responded with different approaches to pricing..
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So I thought I would send a follow up about the outcome. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My friend, who I turned the pieces for had a major heart attack, and has been sidelined. He called me a week or so ago from the hospital to let me know what was going on. At that time, he brought up the pricing issue. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Using Rick's formula, it came out to $84.00 for both pieces. Roger had said he would charge $75.00 -$100.00 per piece. </span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Even though he understood Rick's logic, which by the way made a lot of sense to me because it was a tangible approach, he thought it was too low<span style="font-size: 10pt;">. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I fully understand what Roger was saying about the value of pricing shop time and effort accordingly and not looking back. That approach makes a lot of business since.</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Since it took me longer than it should have because of my inexperience in turning, I was uneasy with charging top dollar for the effort.</div>
<div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">I don't think a customer should pay for my learning curve.</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Both my friend, and his, now my client, were ecstatic with the results. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">So the client sent me a check for $200.00.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><br>

<div>Thanks again for the help. This list is great!!</div>
