cheap, how cheap ...

I just found out a competitor of mine got a job I bid on for so cheap I find it hard to believe. 10 x 10 #15 metal OEM I'm sure, glass, mat, and fit,$16.50 each for quantity 10. People must be really hurting to work for those prices. GBT

Be glad you didn't get it. Think about the auction situation, where everyone is bidding. The "winner" is the person who bids the most, who is willing to pay more than everyone else thinks it is worth or is willing to pay. Maybe the winner is really the loser.

They will not be in business for long that way.

The problem is that some jack### will bid that price on a job and then the public thinks we can all do it for that price.

Whoa, move further away from Jeff. Ohhhhh snap! Just kidding buddy!

He undercut your $16.50 or he won at $16.50 per?

 

[Dave]

Yeah, but he'll make it up on quantity...

 

[AnneL]

Can you even get the materials for that price?

Well I did charge a flat $299 pack and ship charge.

OEM, Reg bulk glass & scrap, 1 paper mat...... COGs are well under 28% just like Bob Carter pounded home year after year.

I'm sure he'll be along here soon to tell me I'm wrong...

If you were just watching Days of Our Lives, All My Brats, Generally Hospitalized, Perry Mason, and Op . . . . isn't it better to make about $120?

Sounds like a competitor of mine that advertises any frame up to 24X36 for 39.99. Its sad but theres not much i can do about it ,i figure he will be gone soon enough and broke on top of it.
