Business is business.If you can move snow and get paid for it or anything else,nothing wrong with that.I dont know why it is but it doesnt seem to make any difference what you do,some people want you to work for nothing.Then have the nerve to get mad when you charge them.I dont think it matters if its a fair price,they wanted it free.No matter what business it is,they sure wont want to pay you as much as you think its worth.This is so bad that after a while,even being fair,they will take stuff somewhere else.Its because their check is probably going to bounce if they think you are a freind.If they dont know you its because they think they can throw a tantrum and get the price reduced or play some scam and get it free.
Think about what you do yourself.Say you want to buy a pickup.You see one for 2500 dollars advertised.You go and offer say 1500 and end up buying it for 2000.Business is not actually like that.For some reason there are people who think that business should be that way too.Even big companies do the same thing.Say you had a contract with Wal Mart to change oil in their trucks.You charge them 50 dollars an hour labor.The first thing they are going to try and do is get you lower on your labor.
If you ever do something for nothing,then it wont take the cheapskates long to expect you to work for them for nothing if they find out.
One thing is for sure,any of them will let you work for free.If you do you will be stuck working for free until you go broke.
Charging one person one price and somebody else a different price is another one that will cause you grief.If you change your price you better put a sign up and dont let them talk you into working for less.You would be better off to turn it away than do it too cheap,or at the same price you did it 5 years ago or whatever scam they want to use.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
