sorry my friend.
its part of the biz, just hang in there and you will get the clients you deserve.
i hate when people underbid me, but i love when the client comes back six months later so i can correct the cheapo work they got before.

maybe you should send over the newstoday toughs to rough up the person who stole the client? we'll hold 'em down and transfatty could do a belly flop onto them. newstoday meets pro wrestling!

Hey, just look at this way, now you have time to find a client that respects and understands you're hard work.
It's probably for the best iand if you don't uderstand it now you'll most certainly understand shortly.

no sweat..
i'm not sure what he was after either..
he's been interviewing folks he told me, and had talked to some flash guy recently...but the guy was strictly production..no imagination really...
anyhow, he just asked me if i could recommend someone, and i thought of you..
he was totally blown away with your portfolio...anyhow, he's a great guy, and definitely the coolest guy i've ever worked for..

Yeah I just did. Looks like a very useful tool for designers. I wonder what kind of work he wants done. I'll definitely give him a shout tonight.
Thanks again for the hook up. :)

- piperboytoy0
thanks Exador, really appreciate it. I had to go out for fresh air. and food. but I will definitely send him an email.
thanks

what really sucks is that there are designers out there so broke that they're bidding sites out at $500 and up. they might be living with a few roommates and just need a bit of $ for rent or something so to them $500 is a lot of money.
or... it could be some fucking idiot who took an html class and thinks he can design a site.
either way it sucks big ones.

Depends on the customer...You can't lower your values to win it. You know what your work is worth...right??
Don't lose your sleep on it. ;P
