If they don't want to pony up, you've saved yourself a lot of headaches and a pile of dough. Jim Shulman Bryn Mawr, PA - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of Kyle Cassidy Sent: Monday, February 10, 2003 3:12 PM To: 'leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us' Subject: [Leica] Getting burned (was scanner or digicam) So about two months ago this band calls me up and says "we want pix" and I said "fine" and quoted a price for 300 or so digiphotos on CD's that they could take with them when they left. Then they said "no no, digital sucks, we want medium format shots on tranny" and I said "okay" and quadrupled the price and said I wanted half upfront. So they came over, I shot a bunch of rolls of MF, took it to the processor, had contacts made, sent the contacts out with a bill. Sent another bill. Sent another bill, sent another bill. And now I have several hundred dollars worth of film processing sitting on my credit card waiting for a bunch of guys who ain't gonna pay me. My profit would have been the same either way, but there's several hundred dollars extra in overhead I get to eat this time. kc - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
