Sounds to me you are looking for the lowest price, plain and simple.

In my opinion, pricing on services is between the customer and the craftsman on a given job and is not for public airing out or ridicule.

I know that some have mentioned my name and contact info above, but quite frankly, don't call me because I won't quote you. I don't play that game.

Agreed 100%

Word of mouth is one thing, published on the interweb subject to banter gone wild - uncouth plain and simple.

These men (or women) are in business and it is not a business to make big bucks - it's a business driven by passion which takes much skill...this should be respected.
