I see this every day as an electrician. "We can hire someone for a third of what you're asking!"
"Fine, I can't compete against laid-off second-year apprentices who have no license or insurance and won't be around six months from now. Go ahead and hire them"
Honest-to-God, at least twice a month I get a call back from these people, crying in their spilt milk. "Can you come over and finish this up... I paid the other guy, and he's not even halfway through and won't answer my calls or reply to my emails...................."
Photographers deal with Best-Buy "Pros", electricans deal with Home Depot "Pros".
Not sure what kind of work you do but trust me I have to deal with the same thing. You get subs who bid rock bottom prices only to find they do **** work and then file 50 different change orders to jack the price up to what it would have been if you used the more expensive people in the first place.
