  1. Competitor selling wraps too cheap

    Holy Crap. I don't let 3M go out the door for a penny under $10/sq ft. That's installed on something totally flat that will lay on my work table.
  2. If you have seen Storage Wars

    He's right up there with Frank when it comes to branding himself.
  3. Where do I buy "Funeral Flags"

    Had a customer want a "funeral flag" type flag for an assembly line that is able to be hung upside down if needed. Not sure where to get these. I haven't really googled much yet, but hopefully you know the kind I'm talking about, that the funeral homes put on the cars going to the grave-site...
  4. Mimaki JV3

    I had a JV3 for almost 7 years. It was a workhorse. I never had to put print heads in it before I sold it, I'm assuming the other guy did. He only paid $3K for it from me, because that's about all I could get. Most offers were $2,500. Seems high, but if it's got new heads in it, it'd be...
  5. Hospital nurse found dead after prank call on Catherine

    Yea...a prank call doesn't seem like it's worthy of nothing else going on and killing yourself. There's got to be more to her story.

    He's had a "ride along" for the last week, I suppose with the Christmas season going on. He's just driving the truck, and she hops out and gives me the boxes. I'll blame the new chick. I guess it's sexist to say "ups guy" now days isn't it? WHOOPS.
  7. College is replacing the sexist Men Working signs with Crew Working

    Most of the women that complain about this kind of stuff saying it's "anti woman" are generally the ones that say "we can do everything a man can" and then they try and have to take a break or get something to eat because they can't handle it. I've literally seen it 50 times. So annoying to...

    Oh, and I got candy canes in the box too! Merry Christmas to me! I'm gonna have a chat with the UPS guy though, I think he dropped my box and broke them!
  9. esigns.com / signs2trade.com

    I just wanted to tell anyone who is thinking about using these guys that they are top notch. Same speed and quality that Keith had at I-45, and incredible pricing. I ordered at 10:30 yesterday, and it was here today at noon. I had been using another vendor who for some reason always refused...
  10. What extent do you go to when wanting to land a new good customer?

    Just got an email back, didn't get the job anyway. I will probably just quote normal next time. She said she's glad to know of another place she can get this kind of work done, and wanted all of my tax information to get me "in the system". Who knows if it will ever develop, but at least she...
  11. What extent do you go to when wanting to land a new good customer?

    Well I did a little more research, and according to one of my designers I use (that used to work for the competition in town, who does great work, and far as I know, we get along well) and she said that they did a few things for them, but didn't do a ton. It's a mega company, so who knows...
  12. What extent do you go to when wanting to land a new good customer?

    I don't feel like I was MEGA off from my normal price. If they were ordering (1) then yes, but this was (50) 18" X 24" Aluminum Signs, so I gave them a pretty good volume discount on it. I told her that I was glad to quote whatever she had, but I didn't allude to the fact that I was trying to...
  13. What extent do you go to when wanting to land a new good customer?

    We have a huge factory that does car parts here in our town, and the "other guy" in town has ALWAYS gotten all their work. I never got a phone call, email or anything. That makes me feel like they are fairly religious to whoever they use once they choose someone. For some reason, they finally...
  14. static cling vinyl no print nice...how come?

    Three months!? Holy Crap! I have a mega roll sitting here from when I bought my first printer like 8 years ago. I've never used it. Guess I'll throw that in the garbage. I guess I assumed it'd always be good since it didn't have "adhesive".
  15. Domino's needs 34 million new signs??

    How do I get a piece of this 34 million print financial pie?
  16. LOVED meeting my s101 Florida friends!

    I bet that was packed full.
  17. Shop Truck

    Looks good...but me being a country boy from Indiana will NEVER understand lowering a truck. You gotta jack them babies up!
  18. LOVED meeting my s101 Florida friends!

    Florida weather was awesome last week. Took my annual trip to Disney w/ my wife, and left the kids at home for the first time. Was Great! Looks like you guys had fun.
  19. Question on profit

    I'm with visual. I generally double my materials cost, and then guess on my time and I've been doing ok with it for 8 years, so I guess I'll just go with it. When I have a PITA customer, the prices go sky high, if it's someone I feel will be a good investment and a great working relationship...
  20. tipping UPS or fed/Ex driver for holidays

    We don't give ours cash, but we normally try to do a gift card of some sort to a steak place that we would assume him and his wife would enjoy. They almost become part of your workplace you see them so much. We have his personal cell phone number, and if we need something early in the morning...
