AHHHH once again.

Post by wickedinhere »

I know this guy who has asked me to make several pieces for him but he never pulls the trigger. He contacted me a few days ago about another piece real simple so i cut a few samples to send him FOR FREE to make sure they would work for his application. Well i was going to mail him the samples
tomorrow and i get a message saying that he found a guy at his church that said he would cut as many as he needed FOR FREE. I can't imagine anyone cutting stuff for free this guy wanted 40 pieces and i figured 2 dollars each. I wont deal with this guy anymore because its just a waste of time for me. I don't waste people's time but people sure like to waste mine.

He never pulls the trigger because he is waiting for that super price, ZERO . . . :D

Wicked I thought you just did artsy type stuff . . .

I normally only do artsy stuff but i had a sheet of 1/8 that had just enough space to do his order. I figured it was simple and could use this piece i have had forever but i guess not.LOL

Speaking of artsy, do you paint or powder coat.

Curious since we share the same climate.

I'm building a 6X10 paint booth.

How do you finish?

Maybe it works this way....Mr. Church Guy will do the CUTTING for free, and just make him pay for the material. So his total price will be a low, low $3 per unit. :mrgreen:

LOL yeah that free stuff normally cost you more in the long run.
Steve when i started out i painted all my stuff but its way easier to powder coat which is what i do.
Here is my thread about my setup.
