What I noticed on Craigslist is that everyone posts low prices on tint, I guess they figure that is all that is needed to get work, sell the experince and fact you have been around for however many years could get folks to come to you instead of the low price folks.

The thing that I have noticed about that site is that everyone that goes on there is always looking for a smoking deal on something.........including services like ours. They email you asking how much and they very few respond back. The ones that do have been asking for jobs to be done for far less than what is quoted. :lol6

You can get a few jobs off of there but you have to go thru a lot of back and forth e mails with people before you find the ones that actually want it done.

For example I had a guy ask about doing a full R&R on a 5 window Lincoln limo and to blackout his privacy window between the driver and passengers. I emailed back and forth before finally getting pictures of the car and it was a nice shade of dark purple. I quoted the job and he responds back say that he had already found someone that would do the job for a third of what the normal shop would charge. I asked him, "why are you even contacting anyone else?" And he says he is looking for a better deal. :duck

Thats pretty much the type of people that I see from there. I have gotten a few jobs from there and the best part is that it is free. :evilgrin

I'm sure there's a lot of truth in that ..no place for quality shoppers..but yeah, it's free , so nothing to lose :beer

Thats the way I look at it. I figure that I am going to be sitting at the computer anyway, I may as well try and get some work once in awhile from free sites too. :thumb
