If you have no fucking experience and the guy wants to give you money to do it, shouldnt a more fair price be a quote at a real shop - a certain percentage that you think is fair? If you charge hourly it makes no fucking sense because you spend more time on it, if anything it should be straight up flat rate @ 12 bucks an hour or something.

But the problem is this, not me, not limitless, not eric was promoting about our skill sets; and wanting customers. Be vinyl wrapping, headlight baking, led wiring. We are all just minding our own business, these people come to us, not the other way around. And lets face it, who wouldnt want some extra cash in their pocket (ofc I dont know Limitless or Eric, So i am just strictly speaking for myself).


As far as me reading this thread, I think I can say, I do have some experience wraping vinyl, limitless have some experience baking headlights, eric has some experience wiring leds.

Its these experiences that we have that forms the basis for our cost/profit/formula. Because we know from our OWN EXPERIENCE how long a task takes for US to do.

I dont want to repeat myself, but if the consumer chooses ME/Limitless/Eric over others to do up their car. Than it is irrelevant what the market charges, because we must figure out a way to make sure that we actually just doesnt volunteer our time for complete strangers. I am not arguing if Limitless/Eric over charged the OP or not. I am just putting a side of the story from Limitless point of view because I have had similar experiences. I just have a problem of the forum members who calls people like me or limitless scammers. How did he scam the OP out of anything.

I included another example lol just for giggles

Spoiler!

If I walked into futureshop wanting to drop $400 on a graphics card for my computer, the sales associate is not going to tell me that NCIX has the same product for $300. I think its the consumers responsibility to do his research. I am just looking out for myself, its just like Futureshop has a formula to figure out why it needs the graphics card to be sold @ $400 to make money. I also have a model so I dont work for free/close to it. Remember this is for complete strangers, not friends, not family no nothing.

lol... I must be on something to feel this emotional towards a forum discussion LOLOLOL
