Short, and dear lord so entertaining.
SC: Hi, so I need a custom design sort of like these other sites
Seraph: Alrighties, let me give you my base copypasta list of prices.
Seraph: <pastes>
SC: No, your examples are not as good as these designs
Seraph: Yeah, I see that, for something THAT detailed, it'd be more expensive....so...probably <this price>
SC: That's too expensive.
Seraph: Alright, what about <cheaper option>, I can simply not include as much detail
SC: No, it HAS to be like those
Seraph: Well then, sorry I couldn't help you. Good luck with your website!
<silence from the client, and then five minutes later>
SC: You're not going to offer me a cheaper price? You can't lose a sale like this. The economy is terrible.
Seraph: Yes, the economy is terrible, and yes, I like sales, but no I will not bargain with you, especially over a project this large. As I said, my prices are above, if you wish to do business, there you have it. If not, good luck, and sorry that we could not come to an agreement.
SC: This sucks. <logs off>

Despite all the hardships of running your own business, that has to be one of the best aspects ... you can tell PITA customers to go take a flying leap.
