Big Ash tree needs felling

[Mick Dempsey]

He’s asked for 3.9 you said try and get him down to 3.5.

 

What would you call it?

What a very strange way of thinking,

Who said anything about haggleing down the price? I just said if he can get it down to £3’500 in my opinion that would be about right money for the job.

You!?

If you can get him down to £3’500 I would say that would be around the correct price to take down tree,remove all timber + woodchip and stump grinding.

I expect that sometime in a few years, while I’m pushing up the daisies, treeworkers will actually be paying clients to carry out all their tree work, or at best do it for nothing.
I’m just glad I won’t be here to see it.

Asking a question is a lot different to haggleing....there is always room for movement for cash...haven’t any of you put a price in and lowered it for cash...Christ sake you lot take a chill pill anybody would think you were doing the job.

I can't see why anyone would give a discount for cash on that job rather then just being paid by bank transfer. 

 

Cash =

£400 less

Having to count a large amount of money in front of the client to check the correct balance. 

 

Having the worry of carry that amount of money to the bank. 

 

Having to stand in potential a long queue to pay the money in once you get to a bank with reduce opening hours ( hoping its not raining). 

 

Having to pay higher bank charges to put in cash. 

 

And the last worry that you don't have any counterfeit notes. 

 

Bank tranfers=

 

Invoice job from the comfort of your home and money is in the account hopefully within terms of the invoice. 

 

Really don't know why anyone would want cash nowadays ?

Barclays bank you can pay in cash at the wall as far as am aware theres no counterfeit plastic notes as of yet and 4000 in 20s is only 200 note what dont take long to count at all and cash is king in my book

What????..the whole idea of being paid cash is you don’t put it in the bank and as for standing there counting it who gives a f—k...it’s takes 2 mins to count that out.god I must be getting old.
