Have been in business for 24+ years. Have had my shop for 14+ years. People will go down the street IF someone will sell them something for a dollar OR less or will do it for a dollar OR less. It doesn't matter who is doing it(how long I've been doing it for) or how much better(better materials) they're gonna do it. All SOME people care about is the frickin' dollar. My favorite one of all is when I was in another shop and a guy asks the jeweler how much HE charges for a watch battery. The jeweler tells him $5. The customer tells the jeweler "The guy down the street charges $4.95". The jeweler tells him "I charge $5". The customer gets in his car and drives a couple of miles down the street to save a frickin' nickel. I usually don't have that problem. When I get that type of customer I tell them to go on down to the other guy down the street. I don't want to deal with those type. They run from store to store trying to widdle the merchant down. Those stores haven't lasted, the customers aren't happy and they end up telling you they wish they'd gotten done right the first time. Kind of like this post.

You get what you pay for. Don't price shop.
