at least that's how it's done around here...
I agree. You can often find people working off the clock that charge "pennies on the dollar" compared to what other businesses might charge.

Will, you claim nobody understands what running a business takes. The buyer never cares what expenses the business has, never. They don't matter to the buyer. If I can pay an off the clock guy $100 to do a job that a company wants $500 for, guess what I'm doing?

Several years ago I bought a plasma from Best Buy. They offered installation service. I thought "great, this will work out real slick." Until they told me it would cost $500. Basic installation, no hiding wires, no special setup. Drilling a couple holes in the wall and lifting it up. Yep... it took 2 guys and a 12 pack of beer... hell of a lot cheaper than $500 from the great "business with insurance."
