people who dont want to pay the real price of something arent serious at all. (like at expensive stores you dont guy asking for a deal cause they will just ignore you)
i have learned that when people try to negociate to much with me bringing the thing down to like half, most time dont even have the money.
last time, me and a friend had a few meetings with a fairly popular musician from my country. he was braging about how much money he had just gotten from the label for promoting, so me and my friend went for like 8k and he brought it down to 5k, we were cool with it.
i made the design exactcly to his taste, even better, he wanted a copy of michael jacksons site, i made something better, my friend started to work on the programming experimenting and stuff.
by the time we were suposed to get the first half for the job and start the project, he never showed up again.
and this has happened to me 3 times, with the first time almost ending on a lawsuit cause i had actually finished the site.
so now i know, that people who are serious, know how to negotiate, and know how much is their project worth and will hire me for their needs and not looking for a bargain trying to avoid an agency.
and i also dont work for exposure either, a lot of people try to rip you off with that excuse.
