Would you pay this person? He wants $750!!! UPDATE

winebuddy · 11-13-2009, 06:16 PM

Thanks for all the replies - just put an update in the OP.

I used a lot of what was here when talking to the guy today - it helped - a LOT.

I posted a brief summary but the conversation was about 25 minutes.

Now I get it. You didn't have $750 lying around, you had $800, lol.

By the way, I think you did the right thing. Glad you got it straightened out.

Wow you don't have 750 and the bad english the guy used convinced you to give him 50 more. So where do I send the inovice for my adveci ?

winebuddy · 11-13-2009, 08:15 PM

I have never had $750 lying around for something I didn't plan on. I plan for everything - even flat tires.

But in this case, I wanted to make good and make a point. I think I did.

Of course, pay the $750! Sounds like you have an awesome guy on hand. I'll find work for him if you don't!

I just don't happen to have an extra $750 lying around to be spent on something I didn't plan for.D

Glad you got it sorted out!

Thanks for the update

Thanks for letting us know... I would have paid him a lot less but you know the value you received. good about passwords

Failing to understand the perspectives of others in disagreements is truly one of the great foibles of our species.

It sounds like you have gone overboard on trying to understand his perspective on the matter; It does not sound as he has considered your perspective. You are much, much more giving and understanding than I would be in the matter. There is no way I would consider paying him for the work beyond the original fix. He should have contacted you before he did the extra fix work.

It's like a company sending you a product you didn't order in the mail and then billing you for it. No way, the product is yours to keep.

The only thing I can see is that you want to keep him as a valuable service provider, but there are a lot of under-employed programmers out there.

Since he did do the work.....might as well pay him.

Obviously, he thought you authorized the work, so it could get sticky in court (especially if he can prove it).

Next time, get everything in writing before letting him procede.
