What am I missing?
I recently had someone ask me about pricing of a service that I posted about. I didn't feel comfortable giving the price because I didn't want to influence the person's expectations. Every house, job, etc. is different and circumstances change. I didn't want anyone blasting the vendor because he potentially quoted them a higher price than I paid.
