    So, chances that they'll end up actually going back to that $24K bid as soon as they can hack it?
    I doubt it, actually.

    Get the money and terminate your services. But I do agree, if they *want* to spend $24k, you know you can do it for $2.5k, charge then $18k. It might, possibly, make dealing with these idiots better.
    I've already been paid, thankfully.

    You just attract these people like flies Seraph! I think your heart would stop if you had no drama!
    No, I just think the universe would come to a halt. :P These things just KEEP happening!

      Sounds like the senior pastor of my old Church - he held out for so long to upgrade the server of the Church network (trying to get the cheapest possible price against the advise of...well pretty much everyone) that the system completely crashed - to the extent the remains were seen in the corridor of the church offices with several pedestal fans around it keeping it cool until they got someone to replace the server.

        Oh good. Well, sort of. It avoids any later snide remarks about how you were obviously "too cheap" to serve their awesome needs at least.

          And jack up your prices to them if they call back because I bet a number of people will complain of the down-grade. If they complain, point out that you don't want the drama without the money. The worse they can do is go to someone else, the best is they give you lots of money.

          And review your contract with them - NO FREEBIES!

                Something tells me that a huge chunk of their "traffic" is really just the huge amount of bandwidth needed to load BMPs instead of JPG's >_> Hell, I used to have a GC site back in the day and even I wasn't that dumb.
