THE $1400 DOLLAR BID..

[2FORCEFULL]

So a friend of mine tells me this,... his lowest bids are 1400 bucks, he said people got 1400 for doing nothing, so he wants 1400 to work on their home....

Workman’s comp, 1 million general liability, shop, truck + insurance, tools and my pay costs $1,000 a day.

I’d love to hear how somebody has a buddy who will do it for half [emoji16]

Cancel it still. They are merely extorting money because they can. That's the worst possible business model ever. Fuck them.

Right? They act like they are the fucking cable company or Sirius XM that we have to call every 6 months to play the “lets negotiate game!”

they did a discount of $692, so I'm good for 12 mo. But, looking at the situation, seems they have a special teem to neg, when you say I'm canceling .... where as before they would tell you this is the best we can do...

Exactly why $15-$20/minimum wage is dumb…the cost of everything will just go up accordingly, and the poors will still be poor.

And I love folks taking about “the $15k new time buyer” credit Biden has promised.

That’ll just raise the price of starter homes by the same amount.

People are imbeciles.

Yoh should call progressive back and tell them that your company lowered it to 800 but you want to switch after thou bs and see if they can beat it.

repeat the cycle 3 times until it's 500 a month.

I think the trailer maintenance guys are following the same model. $1,000 dollars to recaulk the side of my trailer, not including the roof. I think the roof brought the total to 1,400. I'll do it myself for that much money
