Seems like it carries no meaning now, or at least not to me.
Had a new company doing some fitting up work for me a few weeks ago. They were very good admittedly. They had some demo gear with them that I liked and I said I’ll buy that off you (it was new kit). We agreed a price and shook on it. They left it with me.
I sent them an email last week asking them to send me an invoice. They’ve been quite busy, so just responded now....
Apparently it was “last years price” that we shook on/agreed and this years price is now ‘x’. Of course if I’m not happy with that they’ll come and collect it...
Now ‘x’ is over 20% more the price we shook on. The total price isn’t huge - less than £500 - but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth when sh!t like this happens.
