Got a call from a taxi service this morning. It seems his vinyl guy has disappeared. He's got a fleet of taxis that are in various stages of needing lettering. The catch........He needs them done by tomorrow.
So I head over there wondering if I should even bother with this. I'm already overbooked for the next 3 weeks.
I look the stuff over. Nothing particularly difficult. Just lots of white reflective lettering. In the course of the conversation he lets me know that the "other guy" has been lettering the cars for $100 each.
I stopped what I was doing and told him I knew why the other guy disappeared and that there was no way I could do any of it at that price.
I went back to the shop and e-mailed him a quote -- $275 for each unlettered vehicle (still too cheap) and that is if he brought them to me rather than me going to his place.
