Just got off the phone with a guy calling from another engraving shop
him: how much are lapel pins?
me: how long is a piece of string?
him: huh?
me: i need to know a bit more info before i can quote, i need size, quantity, number of colours, finish style etc.
him: i donno, what's the cheapest one you got.
me: the cheapest plastic 1 colour pin is $x.xx, but to be honest it shows, it looks like chit. I need the artwork in vector format or i would need to charge you to convert it.
him: what's vector?
me: really? I thought you said you were in the industry! (i explain what vector is)
him: do I need to buy some fancy program for that? how much is it?
Me: Yes, Illustrator is about $1500, Corel is about $800
Him: silence...
Than he has the nerve to ask if the prices I quoted for the pin include his "wholesale discount" lol since he is reselling them, aparently i have to make less money off the job lol.
It's been one of those days!
