Silly price HAVE A GUESS

[Joe Loggs]

I'm going for £1200 Wayne, £400/day for a desperate 3 man crew, and a nutty climber who would climb anything.

 

OR

 

It's a cheap loss-leader price by some Dids, who will bump it up to £5k as soon as they have cut a few limbs off....

Closest so far

 

wasn't mine just as close?

[welwell]

So the amount of effort for a professional job is irellevant.

Its just a case of what some google-eyed, safety-oblivious dickpiece has come up with??

 

I'll punt for £750 + the timber and we'll keep ouor fingers crossed.

 

Good for you for sticking to your guns - now the weathers warming up those phones will be ringing more and more - don't chase the 'ow much?' jobs concentrate on the good uns, they'll come along.

 

Good guess as well Shane

 

And good advice also

I think the £400 for a desperate crew is right... but not the 3 day part!!

Don't people think "If he is saying £4K, why do the other guys want to charge me £900, is everything above board?" anymore?

 

I second the opinion that is she couldn't give a monkies about your safety then you shouldn't be working for her.

It seems not. When people want a tree gone it's bottom price that matters despite safety issues etc etc blah blah blah.

[Le Sanglier]

So you were charging 4k is that right?

[Mark Bolam]

She sounds like a div.

 

'I presume he's insured'.

 

Righto!

 

You run a pro outfit Wayne, these guys clearly don't. You can't even try and compete.

 

It is bloody annoying though.

I'm not even entertaining "competing" with these outfits. My clients know what they get with us.
