No one ever understands what can go into doing these types of things.

I would say retail price is 300+tax and if you get a price of 200-300, you are in discount land, and anything less than 200, you are in "this guy is learning electrical on the job" land.

My electrician told me that he'd charge 250-300 for the light we put in.
Bingo!

But they always seem to tell you how simple it is.
