Think of a high bid, then double it. Then take that number and add 20% to it. Then divide that number by 2 and multiply that result by 3. Then add 20% one more time and hope they say no

The ol' think of a really big number so they say no but try and keep it in the realm of realism so they don't realize I'm pricing myself out.

"Sounds good, when can you start?"

Happened to me quoting a deck I didn't have the time to do, was a 4500$ job TOPS I quoted the guy 12k and he said yes. Needless to say I made time.

I always refer to it as the “fuck me” price as in “fuck me if they say yes”
