Have too say I completely agree with you Scimitar, you have to get the pricing right.

Don't be afraid to charge Glyn, after all the old dear won't have sleepless nights thinking about you if you're forced out of business. I'm not saying rip people off, but you should get a fair pay for what are after all professional services.

This is why John started charging for quotes ( I meant to say quotes earlier, not estimates. ) To much time spent diagnosing faults on tv's to be told no thanks we'll get a new one and have the set left with you. If they quibble about 20 euro for a quote then chances are they wouldn't spend much more on a repair and you've at least saved yourself some time.

Not all business is good business.

Cheers,
John Joe.
