I have a painting company in Florida, and New Jersey has some people that go crazy over prices. Very often I just never call them back because they seem like they are not going to pay. Those New England states have quite a few that make me not sleep at night.I am a licensed electrical contractor in NJ.
And over the years if there is one thing i have learned is that if a customer is more worried about the money than they are the quality of work, it's best for both of you not to work together.
They are never going to think they got their money's worth and you will always feel like you are ripping them off (even if you are not).
You also cannot waiver on pricing, when you first talk money you can't say things like "let me see" or "i'll check". All solid finite answers. It has to be like buying a gallon of milk at the convenience store. it's $5 (or whatever it costs), that's the price, it's cool if they want it, it's just as fine if they don't. You have to be very sure of yourself or people will eat you alive.
For the record, i think $200 is very reasonable if you know what you are doing.
But at this point, it's already too late for this guy, if he really said you are "crazy", you should absolutely not do this work.
And if you do, come back and let us know how wrong it went.
I don't have to pay people often to do things. But when i do, my #1 concern is if I think they will do a good job (my roof comes to mind), rather than the bottom line.
Absolutely, quality is the biggest concern. Most of us here are either professional, or capable DIY, and we know when things are wrong.I am a licensed electrical contractor in NJ.

I use the titanium series welder [the green 110v one] and it did very well. I installed the entire stifflers kit on my car with it.Will the cheap Harbor Freight welder do the job??
I did my floor pans and SFC with the Eastwood 110v welder.Will the cheap Harbor Freight welder do the job??
I did my floor pans and SFC with the Eastwood 110v welder.
Im convinced I did a good job, and that the welds are strong!
My neighbor looks at me weird when I start cussing and throwingAsk Kate….She finds it out of the ordinary when she doesn’t hear screaming coming from the garage.
I bought the exact same welder from Home Depot. I converted it to a MIG though.I started out just like everybody here and bought a Lincoln 110 unit as my first box..I got it from Home Depot, and paid 400 new.
It worked fine for anything up to .125 thick…Anything thicker than that had to be beveled, dressed, and otherwise dicked with to make sure that the welds penetrated.
