Gray Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 30%........... You big softy. 20% and he does the fetching and carrying, but stick your prices up 10% anyway in case he wants to haggle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Reminds me of when I first started here, I was struggling I mean REALLY struggling for the first few months. Then as luck would have it Andy had a couple of weeks off & my Old boss brought me two weeks work from a busy shop! I gave him 20% off MY prices. Best bit was it got me over a hurdle & paid the rent for a few months. It was probably the difference between getting going or not! little did he know!
