I'll try to keep it brief.
We decide to have some decorating done. I get 3 guys in to quote, like bloke no 3 comes across well he verbally quotes within price range of the other 2 so my mind is pretty much made up. I get the written quote and it is ever so slightly higher, not enough to quibble so ring immediately to book him in.
Then I do a bit of googling and the paint he is using is cheaper than the other 2. So now I'm thinking he's a bit pricier - only £9 to nearest other quote but the paint is cheaper so I give him a call within a day to say I was a bit hasty booking straight away and can I discuss with DH as he has been away for a couple of nights? I was honest with him, didn't mess about just said I wanted to talk over with DH.
We had a good chat and he knocked £30 off the price said he wanted to do the job.
So then I fill DH in and he says the guy is just trying to earn a decent wage he was competitive he will feel demoralised at being knocked down in price we should be prepared to pay his original quote. I should call back Monday and tell him he can do the job forget about the £30 off.
I didn't call and demand a lower price or else I would take the job somewhere else we had a civilised conversation he offered to take off £30. The paint is cheaper at the end of the day.
So, AIBU to take the £30 discount taking into account I did verbally accept him doing the job?
