Poast new message in this thread
Date: July 1st, 2024 3:45 PM Author: Just asking questions I got two quotes for a radon mitigation system for $2300. Scheduled one of them to come tomorrow morning. Third company just got back to me saying they can do same job for $1650.
The guys i scheduled were super responsive and worked with me on a quick day to get it done early in the morning but this is 35% cheaper. |

Include settlement language on the check and when they cash it & beg for more, threaten to sue them under consumer protection statutes.

OP could just mail the prole goy mr. fixit a $100 check with "PAY TO THE ORDER OF: prole goy mr. fixit, for full settlement of the contract dated 07/01/2024" and, after they deposit it, argue that the contract is fully settled by virtue of the accord & settlement. |

Date: July 1st, 2024 3:50 PM Author: Just asking questions Im trying to avoid being a DBG and would feel bad about cancelling 18 hours before a job is going to begin because someone responded late with a low ball.
But it seems like this should be a pretty standard thing and I do not understand the price variability. First two guys both came back with $2300. |

Date: July 2nd, 2024 1:01 AM Author: ,..,,,,,,....,,,..., In a lot of trades, most of the guys in any given area are bros and coordinate pricing. $2300 has plenty of margin in it. Other guy is new in town, hates the others, or doesn't have enough work and is breaking ranks. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5548693&forum_id=2Reputation#47800645) |

Unless you’re fucking poor and or Jewish, stick with the first guy. For a radon system all you care about is that it actually fucking works and will continue to work. Somebody who is that much cheaper may actually fuck it up, despite it being a ridiculously easy system |

This may be goyish but I both felt bad about cancelling at the last minute when they worked to schedule me in and also got a little nervous about an estimate that was so far below the other two companies that have more reviews. |

do goyim really think that way? amazing how stupid their brains are when it comes to money
2 hrs time 5 guys sounds like 10 man hours. even at $50/hr, that's $500 in labor. how much are the materials worth? |

|
Date: July 2nd, 2024 9:38 AM Author: ...,,..;...,,..,..,...,,,;.., low iq schtick? we're trying to determine the owner's PROFIT from the job. no way these 5 guys are getting more than $50/hr from the owner. that's a more than generous assumption for the cost of labor.
the owner's profit is the cost of the job less the labor and materials.
the owner's profit determines whether it's a fair price or not. |

youre way off in this post. they are all working hard and doing shit i couldnt do or would mess up.
also they are eastern euros and cost more than illegals. |
|
Date: July 2nd, 2024 10:22 AM Author: ...,,..;...,,..,..,...,,,;.., Eastern euro workers aren’t getting paid more than 50/hr by the company owner
It’s irrelevant whether you can do the job or not yourself. The question is what’s the job costing the employer. |
|
Date: July 2nd, 2024 10:25 AM Author: Just asking questions how would you know what its costing the employer? the only thing i can do is get quotes and go with the company that seems responsible.
in an expensive area the euros could be demanding more than 50/hour. |

You didn’t get enough bids to determine whether the 2300 was reasonable or whether the first two companies both gouged you.
Yes the only thing you can do is get quotes. But you didn’t get enough. You hired someone based on two quotes. |

also, no way to know how busy any given contractor is. a lot of these guys are struggling for work and feel the need to overcharge to make up for all the idle time. |
