[pianotech] Estimated fees

FYI Canada does have antitrust laws that are actually slightly older than the laws in the United States.  See this site 
http://www.mccarthy.ca/pubs/antitrus_overview.pdf for an overview.

No problem thanks, for your advice. 

By the way we are in Canada ,
don’t have same anti trust laws as
 U.S. 

Anti trust laws are to prevent “price fixing” that’s
their sole purpose. 

This was not my intent asking a simple question, sorry for getting you
mixed up in this, 

Thanks to all who still saw fit to give me an idea that we were at
least in the ballpark. 

Can always go up from there….hint hint 

Best to all  

Norbert

To make it easy,
paying a tech $ 250 for his after delivery services of a fully prepped grand,
we deem fair and appropriate. 





Those who don't agree
with this can simply say "no" 





Thank you to all those
who have given us exceptional service in the past. 





I appreciate working
together with all PTG members to the benefit of our common customers and be, at
same time fair to  you and all parties involved. 





Now take me to jail
for having said this….

I understand that we
as technicians cannot discuss our prices here.  But let's go a little
easier on Norbert.  He is not a technician.  He is a customer. 
He sells pianos, some very fine ones (I'm in
 Manitoba , he's on the west coast, and I tune
for one of his customers!) and he is asking what is fair to offer a tech for a
defined body of work. 





  





Now I know we can't
give him an answer.  But as a customer, I really doubt that he is crossing
the line of the anti-trust issue.  And we don't have to either, as long as
we graciously decline to answer him in this forum.
