The bill came in at like $1200 more than he expected and I had originally quoted. But my original quote was based on half of the work that ended up being done. Through the process a lot of stuff came up that needed to be done, which resulted in a full metal restoration being done too. I keep him up to speed on all of that, but we never really assigned a dollar figured to the extra work. But he wanted it done “right” and told me “do it as if it was your own gun”. Then he balks at the bill for that. He has either just gave me grief about the bill and told me how much horrible I am for what I am charging him. Or he gives me lines like he will get me paid “next week”. He has been stringing me along since June on it.
In over 12 years I have never dealt with this before. And I have not dealt with having to keep someones gun over an unpaid bill. Believe me, I dont want to keep the gun. I want him to get his gun back and to have him happy with the work. But I am not having that happen at my loss.
However, something tells me that this would be happening regardless of the overage on the bill or not.
