I work in the hotel industry now and I ****ing hate people who call me and barter their rates...it happens every ****ing day and drives me crazy.
So I am not a hypocrite. Someone quotes me...I either pay it or I don't...but I don't make demands and I don't say 'how about this amount instead?' I'm not that type of person even if I wanted to be...I would find it to be awkward.

No, you'll post here on your personal blog about it before you even get a chance to barter, you'll have already set your rate because you don't know better, and then yell at those who seek to enlighten you so you don't make the same mistakes.

Good luck. You know that you are the equivalent of the guy expecting to get a free or discounted beer even though he never tips and/or rarely comes into the bar.
"But the beer only cost you $.75! Why do you charge $3!"
Or better yet, you are the guy that tries to sneak his own beer in.
Reality is a bitch. You could have replaced the mirror yourself instead of wasting time complaining about it here. |
This guy gets it

if this was your shop and your quote how much additional would you charge me to install my own side mirror on a car that I was told the job is VERY simple and not time consuming?
I'm honestly JUST curious.

However much the labor hour is on the repair, simple as that. If you are a buddy or repeat customer, probably free. That's how the business works. If you are some Joe Schmoe off the street, labor hour is what you get. If I NEED your business badly, I'll probably knock 20-40% off the labor hour. But you rarely see that unless it is a mom and pop shop.

Street Vendors in most places are required by law to hold some kind of coverage, in this case though, there are many coverages they don't have to keep. In the case that they aren't filed as an LLC/LLP, I'll be suing them directly, if they were an LLC/LLP I'll be suing the business. However, since they are a street vendor, they don't have a landlord and thus don't cover liability for accidental mishaps in an environment, that is going to be done on a strictly "as is" basis.

And your labor hour is like what? 50-60 bucks because you are in BFE right?
Sounds basically spot on to what I said a few quotes ago.
