hi all,
i just wanted to share something that was shared with me as i'm sure most will get a kick out of it. it turns out there is someone in perth charging $2000 call out fee just to come out to a house to give a quote for a system. i wont mention any names but its someone who wrote an article for gardening australia recently. it seems a bit much that he expects $2000 just to tell someone how much more money they need to spend. sounds a lot like those aquaculture experts in the 90's who did so much harm.
now fair enough if this guy had been doing ap for 10 years but so far as i'm aware this guy is relatively new to ap.
anything to make a buck from an unscrupulous buyer.
i have to make it clear though that this is what i have been told and may not be true. if it is however wtf.
i will be talking to the person and will likely setup one of Joels systems for about the price of the quote.
don't you just love experts?
but did see the article and it is ridiculous, (the quote price), but the silly thing is people pay these prices and that's why they charge them, but then people don't realize the system is quoted then pay $5000-00+ for a system, then they have to maintain it, which most would know is probably the hardest job, people that do pay these prices haven't got time to do it themselves anyhow, so where are they going to find time to run it? for me I love experimenting + failing= try again, places like this forum are the only place to find out, people here will give idea's on pricing and if all else fails there is always EB (Joel) in WA anyhow
