I'd like to read some quotes you may have heard (or used) over the years in this craft.
Mine comes from a former employer, but I'm not sure if it was original with him. He used to tell customers who were price-hunting: "the most expensive sign you'll ever buy could be the one you pay the least amount of money for, if the sign does'nt bring in customers, you'll lose money everyday".

Stevo, right now it's just a "sorry the website is down" thing. Changed servers last week and decided it was the perfect time to (force myself to) revamp it instead of re-publishing the old one that I hated.

That's great Kissy! Look forward to seeing your new site with all the great work you've been producing lately. How's that book store coming along? You should have lots of nice stuff to put on it!

Q. How much should I charge for this sign? A. As much as you can get without laughing
From a guy I worked with many years ago who I believe got it from his signwriter grandfather. Obviously some principals always remain the same.
