You're assuming malice. Why is it insulting? They're probably just mis- or un-informed. I see stuff all the time where people post that they're looking for lessons, and offering a budget. Why is that so unbelievable to you? It's incredibly normal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arch_8ngel | 1,597 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 (edited) Dave, how is a client stating what they are interested in paying any different than an employer stating the wage for a job opening? It is not "insulting" except that you choose to take offense at a negotiation tactic from the client. I will grant that there is a gambit in negotiation related to anchoring, where the first person to state a price sets beginning expectations for discussion -- but it isn't something to take offense at when someone beats you to the first offer. It is just business. Now, if the price is changing after a service is rendered, that is a breach of contract, and is an entirely different discussion. All that said, when it comes to contract bidding, it makes life a lot easier when a client lets you know their budget up front.
