Hi,
Well, to be fair, I think that:
a) The £1000.00 was just to make me "go away" - which succeeded
quite nicely!
That may be what you think. It doesn't make it the truth - which it
isn't.
and
b) The £1000.00 was to actually do the work, (which, incidentally,
had the same effect as point a!). I reckon it wouldn't take more
than an hour or two. In fact if I had the code then I'd be willing
to bet it wouldn't take me more than 30 mins to add the code and
test it.
I am aware you thought this was a few minutes work. I recall
discussing it with you on the phone. In fact, it was not. What you
might think you could do and what our engineers *know* they can do
with the Revolution engine are not one and the same thing.
However, according to the recent mails from Heather (nothing was
said at the time) they thought it would take longer but I really
can't see it, however, if it would take longer then I thought, I
expected some technical reasons why it would take that much effort,
e.g. some justification as to the cost.
It is simply not true to say "nothing was said at the time".
Unfortunately, we do not record customers telephone calls, perhaps we
should start doing so. I am aware that you can't see that it would
take longer than you thought. Despite our trying to explain this to you.
I have read and considered some of your other posts, but
fundamentally, I find them so unreasonable that I cannot find the
words to give you an answer.
I get asked for quotes for work all the time, whether it be in
monetary terns or how long it will take to do something. If I were
to just say it will cost £1000.00 or take one week without
justifying why, I don't think I'd get much work.
And if you were to agree to do three days work for the price of half
an hour, how long would you stay in business?
This thread is now concluded. I will moderate any further posts on the
subject.
Regards,
Heather
All the Best

OK, I'm sorry. I missed the part where you are saying RunRev tried
to charge
you $1,414.00 for 15 minutes of consulting. If that is the case,
then shame
on RunRev. If not, then shame on you for suggesting such.

If you were to buy £1000 of consultancy or software from a

it would cost £1000, would you go back to that company?
This is done all the time in various law firms and investment
agencies
around our country. It's actually HOW many make their money--
they charge
for their time. If 15 minutes of investment consulting made me more
than £1000 then I would keep going back. Folks routinely pay
lawyers huge
hourly rates for advice which save them possibly much much more.
