LOL, Take a deep breath Jim, its not about your house, van, wife, or child. You could have all these things without being a DJ at all.

The thing that is relavent and important is what you have done to get to where you are, and what you bring to the table for the client. It has taken a lot of hard work & skill to get where you are.

Jx2, all I can say is, you have much to learn grasshopper. I have been a function DJ for nearly 10 years, and I am still learning.

Oh, and, saying "no offense" is worthless when accompanied by such comments.

If you would like a humorous education on pricing, watch the film "Ruthless People", If the client doesn't want what you are selling, lowering your price gets you nowhere.

These people hired Jim of their own free will, no one forced them to. They were obviously comfortable enough with his service to pay his price. If they weren't we would be hearing about a law suit, not an MLM book.
