Can't you lot read? I did actually say that £18 was very toppy, and that £24 was plain stupid, and that usual price would be £15-16. This one is off St Annes Road.

[Paul_Rolfe]

and I've no idea what Cindy gibt vollgas means.

[jonnyald]

so what was it she said that so narked you ,you then jumped your price ?

[Paul_Rolfe]

not what she said, the poor access I got the impression noone would be in therefore no access unless the boy would be awake. I can't live like that.

and I've no idea what Cindy gibt vollgas means.

It doesn't mean anything really. It's something like "Cindy goes at full speed",  Like a film title.

Here ends ze Guuurman lesson already.

Why when someone mentions a price do some need to make comments like 'it's robbery'?

Lets face it most things are priced at what the market will bare(bear not sure about spelling)...if someone can get 24 quid for a job that some only charge 15 quid for then thats ok as long as all parties agree...but what about if someone then jumps into the thread and lives in an area where 15 quid is unusal as their normal price is 3,50...who's wrong and whos right?

Not having a dig but prices are so different...I have one customer who's house I clean it take me 45 minutes tops and she gets charged around 65quid every 8 weeks and she is happy as when I 1st started cleaning for her it was every 4 weeks.

Am I robbing her? or providing a excellent service which she can rely on and is more than happy with?

Personally I do undercharge some elderly people as I think in my head thats right whilst some other people have prices a little higer.

Cheers - Not having a dig...

Yes Dave, I've got a weak spot for old biddies though. I reckon everyone has a couple of plum jobs like that one you mentioned. They make up for other "borderline" custies. I don't feel guilty though if I find I have overcharged because, if both parties are happy, then that's a good thing.

[Dave Turley]

now you've quoted it, I would carry on regardless and drop it at the first sign of difficulty gaining access.

i've recently decided that i'm not going to take any more of these kinds of houses on as it makes planning your day too time consuming (unless it's a fair sized house that I really want!)

[stephen s]

not what she said, the poor access I got the impression noone would be in therefore no access unless the boy would be awake. I can't live like that.

its simple mate, if you think £24 is way to high for that job then your knowingly ripping her off and personally I don't think you wanna do that because you have posted it on here which shows you have a conscience.

I bet like the rest of us you have slated benefit cheats and piky's  who make money without paying taxes and sponging off the state at our expense ?   well ripping someone off on a regular basis i.e. once a month falls into the same category.

why not for the inconvenience of the job call her next time your due round there and say you have revalued the job at £20  which will have you in her good books and will probably  get her recommending people to you in the future,   and you can feel good knowing the price is a fair and worthwhile one and you won't be feeling bad about yourself.

at the end of the day we can all be a PITA  but even a PITA can have some good points.

Now I know what area it is I probably would of priced myself out too, the area has probably the oldest houses in Eastbourne, no upvc windows, no access to rears except through the house, I do a couple of flats around this road and there all sash. I also a major road into the town, If id priced it at £18-£20 I probs would of dropped it after a few cleans so id want over the odds for it, I dont think its a standard 3 bed terraced. where you travelling from wolfie to do this as your profile says West Sussex, but are you in East Sussex.

[Paul_Rolfe]

I'm in Worthing but travel east once a month. Eastbourne is the limit really. But it all depends on the price doesn't it? £24 and i'm making more than enough to cover travel, £18 is acceptable, but I wouldn't touch it for £15 unless I had something else closeish, but that said, I hate driving ANY distance to find I cant get around the back, so even if she were closer I would still not want it. I think you have to pare down your round so you only have what suits you, price, travel, time to do it etc.

rather you then me, Id never travel that far for domestic, if you ever sell it you know where I am, was it a recomendation from another custy or do you advertise around here.

[Paul_Rolfe]

30 miles, you just have to factor in the cost to the price. She got my number out of a local rag here she found in a clinic when visiting. I'll let you know how it goes, but I'm not dropping from £24  . Cheers.
