[TheForge] Prices

[Ron Childers]

Sweet words I heard the other day: "That is beautiful; I really like it. Can
you make two similar ones for my sons". "Sure" "Call me when you finish
them." Then he insisted I take a down payment. Cash $$ and no bitching about
the price- He is not rich, but as a tradesman he knows the difference
between hand forged and "Made in India". Ron C

Right.  This is one of those cardinal sin deals.  That's like giving 
someone 50% off on the promise that they will bring you more work next 
month.  Next month never comes.
