Psychological pricing

[treetx]

What? No $595.25?

I just quoted a $129,550.00 offer (non tree related equipment). What's 129.5K w/out the extra fiddy?

The difference in being the lowest bidder, or not.

....probably a seperat thread really, I tell perspectives flat out that I do not ever intend to be low bid. I am selling Treework I tell them the truth...there are people that do this work cheaper and more expensive, I tend to be middle bid. Oft times to really examine all bids and give the seller a chance to stand behind pricing details , low may not be a bargain...

I love messing with people sometimes by writing in exact time on and off the job, come in just a tad under the quote hourly and making it like 550.75 for example..
really screws with the tight wads.
Funny thing is, more often we get a tip when I do that for being honest
