Jay Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Had a lady in this morning with a pocket watch she had bought from a jewellers in the town. Told me that she had got a quote from somebody else & wanted to know what we would charge. So i count the letters up, worked it out & told her it would cost £17.40 Her jaw dropped & i thought here we go, she's gonna tell me how she can get it done for 50 pence less or whatever up the road She then told me that the jewellers had quoted her £60 to engrave it and that the watch had only cost £50! She would also have to leave it with them for a week. Needless to say she left it with us & was really chuffed when she came & collected it 20 minutes later (sorry about the pic, i took it on me phone) Out of interest what would you lot charge for this sort of job?(47 Letters) Are we too cheap?!

ironplanet uk900 Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 fellas t'is maybe not a good idea to publicly relate how you'd 'sting' someone for money. rick. Rick, I've edited Jays post. But if you read it again you'll find it was said with a humorous nature with laughing Emoticons. and not at all serious. Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobblers Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 who said i was just referring to jay it was a generalisation to be careful fella and not aimed at anyone in particular. i know the difference but someone from joe public may take it as they're being laughed at and not in a jokey way. rick.
