Hi,
Well, to be fair, I think that:
a) The £1000.00 was just to make me "go away" - which succeeded quite
nicely!
and
b) The £1000.00 was to actually do the work, (which, incidentally,
had the same effect as point a!). I reckon it wouldn't take more than
an hour or two. In fact if I had the code then I'd be willing to bet
it wouldn't take me more than 30 mins to add the code and test it.
However, according to the recent mails from Heather (nothing was said
at the time) they thought it would take longer but I really can't see
it, however, if it would take longer then I thought, I expected some
technical reasons why it would take that much effort, e.g. some
justification as to the cost.
I get asked for quotes for work all the time, whether it be in
monetary terns or how long it will take to do something. If I were to
just say it will cost £1000.00 or take one week without justifying
why, I don't think I'd get much work.
All the Best

OK, I'm sorry. I missed the part where you are saying RunRev tried

you $1,414.00 for 15 minutes of consulting. If that is the case,
then shame
on RunRev. If not, then shame on you for suggesting such.

This is done all the time in various law firms and investment
agencies
around our country. It's actually HOW many make their money--
they charge
for their time. If 15 minutes of investment consulting made me more
than £1000 then I would keep going back. Folks routinely pay
lawyers huge
hourly rates for advice which save them possibly much much more.
