Do we correct them on cost or go with the additional realized revenue this client will bring in?

Thoughts?

My initial thoughts are to tell them the price is actually $1k, but the part of me with bills to pay and new projects that need funding says to take the $5k.
Do you want to overcharge and him once, or have him keep coming back for more work in the future?

if you have goals of building repeat customers, be honest with him. Then in future projects, just consider that your quotes might be more aggressive than they have to be to get the contract.
