Your thoughts requested on this exchange:
So I'm looking on Rentmen this week, and here's this new guy that says he's coming to my town. Nice Pics! I exchange text/ RM emails (he shows me private pics, which are face pics, he's handsome). I like what i am seeing and reading-- he quotes rate of 300/hr. --high end for my area, And he a little tentative on whether he can make the trip to a new town worth it for him, which i completely understand. Again, pics look good, exchange is not flaky. There's no info on him here ( i searched). So i say okay, and we agree on Fri (tonight, as i write this), just for an hour, and I say 8 or 9 ish, i'm flexible.
Mid-afternoon -- I text to confirm; we exchange texts. He confirms that, yes he is coming to town, on his way as we are texting, we agree on 9.
7ish ---i get a text....
Him--i made a mistake, misquoted you my rate. i usually charge 400/hr and the voice text to you came out 3. just realized it.
Me--we that's over my budget, thanks anyway.
Him -- well, i made the mistake, i will man up and go ahead with 3.
In meantime, i look on Rentmen, and now there are a couple of reviews, but last one 10/3 says reviewer had a good time but pics were "a little outdated."
Given the last min upcharge request and this comment, i say thanks but no thanks, even after he's said, "you seem cool as hell, and it was my mistake....."
As i sit here, a little horned, i wonder... what would you have done??
