CardiffCentral Sorry, in a grumpy mood today.
I believe you deserve to feel downhearted with such expectational prices. Even during this Welsh lockdown, one would have to be really desperately crazy, nothing obviously outstanding her AW profiles
Lockdown's no reason to pay more. Remember, there's not just many fewer SPs working, there are many, many fewer customers not willing to risk it, don't have a good excuse for being out of the house for one hour plus, and don't have an excuse for travelling into the area. Look at it from both sides - they're just as desperate to get custom.
On the back of that, any service is only worth that once someone's daft enough to bite.
Price = what's asked.
Cost, or value = what you agree to pay.
Remember, every seller on the planet will make out their goods or service is "rare" and therefore worth more in their mind.
Just go to eBay and type in "rare" in the search box, and take a look at some of the common, everyday tat that's described as rare, to get an idea of the mindset of sellers when they want to shift a piece of old rubbish to the first gullible punter to believe their story.
You'll see the same principle applied.
