THE LOW BID. (Food for thought)
THE LOW BID. It's unwise to pay too much but it's worse to pay too little. When you pay too much,all you lose is a liitle money.That is all. When you pay too little,you sometimes lose everything because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do.The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot... It can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder,it is well to add something for the risk you run and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better. John Ruskin 19th century English author,art critic and social reformer. |

Someone needs to tell Tempo and the others to raise their prices then.

It is astounding.......like pricing limbo, and I wonder who's back will break first.

Always buy a quality product. It may cost more initially but in the long run it ends up being more cost effective!!!

I like low bidders, we make good money fixing up their mess. It amazes me how so many people want to use the lowest bidder.
