    I'm sorry. I don't understand what mistake you are talking about.
    Why should a future customer pay for a mistake you make in your
    pricing?

    Forgive me, but like the line in "Big": I don't get it. You seem to
    be saying that you should make up for charging too much for product
    and too little for labor and "make up for it" by somehow charging
    another customer for that? That's the epitome of unethical to me. I
    stand by what I said. I think ethics last a lot longer than meager
    profits from the one customer, and the good will garnered by passing
    on the "break" in pricing to a customer is greater than gold and a
    lot more profitable in the long run. 

    Just my humble and very solid opinion. 

Veronica
