๐ ๐ฒ: How much do you think it should be?
๐๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ: 2.5% , Laway lng nman puhunan.
๐ ๐ฒ: Ok, since magkakilala naman tayo pwede namang ikaw magbenta.
๐๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ: Pero hindi ko alam kung paano...๐ท
๐ ๐ฒ: For 1.5% comm tuturuan kita, nakasave ka pa ng 3.5%. You'll get the knowledge na kailangan mo. ๐ท

๐ ๐ฒ: I'm sorry, but I'm only available on Thursday to teach you and lend you my stuff. Other days are busy with other clients na kasi.
๐๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ: Okay! That means I'm going to have to sacrifice my Thursday and give up my other tasks.
๐ ๐ฒ: I forgot. To do your job yourself, you also have to pay for the non-productive factors.

When you pay for a job, especially services-based/handcrafted, you pay not only for the material used, but also:
- Knowledge
- Experience
- Study
- Tools
- Services
- Time to go
- Punctuality
- Accountability
- Accuracy
- Guaranteed
- Sacrifices
- Safety and security
No one can denigrate other people's work by judging prices. Only by knowing all the elements necessary for the production of a certain work you can estimate the actual cost.
