Heard a client say 'I'll just find someone cheaper' when my quote hit $2k.
Made me think, do you stick to your rates or bend to keep the job? What's your line?

Stick to your rate, that client's always a problem.

Oh man, simon_carr is right on the money. I've learned the hard way that giving an inch just makes them ask for a mile. I once tried to be nice and lower my rate for a "quick job," and it turned into a six-month nightmare of extra requests. Now I just sound like a broken record stating my price. It's less stressful, even if it means walking away sometimes.

Remember when people used to haggle at flea markets? Feels a lot like that sometimes.
