Just a rabbit trail from that rather long debate.(good on ya Craig)
I hear the Newbies taking a lot of heat for lowballing and under cutting prices in our industry, but I will have to come to their defense. In my area (western Washington) it is not the newbies that are doing the lowballing. It is the guy who has been around for 20 years that is doing it! Seen it happen here several times in the last 6 weeks. Might not be happening that way in your area. I for one am going to cut these newbies some slack. They have resources like this board to help them get started and I think most of them have alot more going for them than when some of the rest of us were getting started. Before you answer think about it a little, is it really the newbies cutting prices in your area? Maybe the weekend warriors, maybe the experienced pros.
