^ hahaha Limitless gets my philosophy completely. Market value is there for people who wants to compete in the said market. While me and Limitless are not even "in the market in the first place"
btw Limitless I think I spotted you on 41st near Victoria around 1040amish today =P

Its how people decide to price things, what people feel their time is worth, and how it apparently isnt market price related, is what I have an issue with.

I just want to say that is exactly why i am NOT in the vinyl wrapping business, and/or I would dare to say why Limitless is NOT in the headlight baking profession. Because why would we take on a job that "according to market value" will land us less than minimum wage. You make it sound like its our responsibility to refer everyone who approach us to other people because our lack of skill hinders us to do business in our skill sets. We cant stop people from approaching us, if they DO APPROACH us, I think I am entitled to charge whatever much I want as long as the customer has a full understanding of what he is paying for. If the customer feels like we are expensive he is more than welcome to go to someone else. I even tell my customers to call MM design LOL. No joke. I dont want to waste time, and I am sure you dont too.
The older I get the more I feel like my time is worth a lot of money. And just for the sake of the argument, I feel like my time is worth alot more than $12/hour. I take most of these jobs just out of the good will that I get a chance to check out some cars.
