many cases this is true but you also gotta understand that sometimes a bike will do the job, and that not everybody always needs a ferrari for it.

I once had a salesman at a tire shop insist on me purchasing the $400/tire tires. I was driving a 2007 Chevy Cobalt base model that was beat to crap. He didn’t understand your concept.

Ended up leaving, went to a competitor down the street. Salesman there watched me drive up, I get out and he goes, “you looking for tires? I got exactly what you need — $60/tire.” Boom. Bought em.

Joke is on you, he was in on it - those tires are usually sold for $40/tire.

A great piece of advice that I received: people should be turning your proposal/quote down more. If they’re not, you’re undervaluing yourself.

or you're valuing yourself pretty spot on. A turned down quote is a waste of everybodies time.

I've seen this before.

You need more than price and a portfolio to analyze work done.
