> If you think getting charged asking price is getting fleeced, then you are kind of illustrating my point.
No, that's explicitly not what I'm saying.
Of course, you, as an honest business that stands behind their work, prefers customer who are happy to pay your asking price while not being a pain in the ass. But that's going to be exactly the same stance as your competitor who spends half the effort on their product and double the effort on marketing. They really don't want savvy customers to ask many questions, because they don't have a product to back it up.
I never said not to ask questions or to not ask about the product.
I said that people that ask for discounts or generally fixate on the price are, in my and many other’s experience, bad customers.
I’m happy to sit and talk about the service, the features, etc. I’m even happy to discuss pricing if there is a circumstance that merits it like a bulk deal. But a huge red flag is when people focus on price exclusively.
