How much cheaper?

[StopSignGraphics]

I bid on a job and my price is so different than my competition that I'm wondering what the hell I missed? I actually remeasured the vehicle twice and rechecked my math. My pricing is usually in line with this competitor, this time it's way cheaper.

I can't figure it out... I actually raised my prices because this wrap will be a PITA and I'm still several hundred dollars cheaper.

Could be that your competitor simply bid the job in order to NOT get it. Maybe he saw it as a much greater PITA than you did and didn't want it but didn't want to not bid it either.

We do this sometimes and it usually works pretty well.

So now what do you do..?.. raise prices for sure on that kind of job

I'd rather be the same or higher

I hope it wasn't me.

He added in the PITA fee.

Yeah, I will even do this for people I just don't want to work for in the various organizations I'm in. There are just some people looking to screw someone or you just can't make happy. I'd rather they go around saying I'm high on pricing than some of the other things I hear them say about people I know do excellent work in other areas.
