OP you are forgetting the one reason post is always posted as reasonable? If post would include the actual cost of the project, think of how many posts would be on the negative side.
Ya know How would that cost be reasonable?
You really paid that much for that __________?
Did you not get 3 quotes before you spent that much money?
Or the best
I only paid $_________, you chose poorly.(Indiana Jones)
Now the post that asks first does this sound out of line for cost, gets a far better response, for the project.
A personal example to rebuild our birdcage. No deviation in size, it’s a rebuild.
$25,000 First company (original) already had the engineering. Saw the pics total rebuild.
$19,880 Second company, guy was very nice, reputable company. Quote did not include demo. Comment was Wow this is a new cage, and needs a total rebuild, sorry for your loss.
$49,875 Third company walked out back, took one look at our house, and said when you own a premier house, never skimp on the rebuild. Even if your insurance won’t cover it, you need something impressive.
Guess which one I am going with…Dingdingding….#1
