Ha. Wow. That would be like putting an addition onto your house and your contractor wanting a cut of the value the addition just added.

Just never get cheated...

I bought this in a 2 holder, cracked and resubbed:

That's a much better example than the one I used to try to get the point across!

I am curious what would/would have happened if you left that card slabbed?

Would have another TPG or Joe himself, asked the previous TPG what he was thinking or would the card remain a 2 as to not admit they screwed up?

To be fully honest as a contractor for 20 years. We didn't want a cut of your addition. We did charge you more for the SAME EXACT addition if you have a 800K house compare to a 300K house.

Is that a typo where you meant to say "We didn't" or did you purposely charge more because you knew the people with the $800,000 dollar house likely had more money?

I 100% guarantee the nicer/more expensive your house is the more you will pay a contractor for the same exact work. No none of them are going to admit to it but that is how it really works.

I'm sure it goes on, but what would happen if the owners of the bigger house knew the owners of the smaller house and knew what they paid?

I am sure that happens too, and may explain why so many of these contractors eventually go out of business?

Actually that is funny, most contractors go out of business because they suck at one of the many aspects of running a business.

There are many good reasons the owner of the more expensive house is paying more for the same exact thing.

If interested Dale I can explain it to you in a PM because I can guarantee people with $ will not understand and will be offended.

I think I may have an idea of what you are going to say, but I'd like to hear if I am close or right on a couple things. PM away.
