I just had a potential client let me know that after a 1 hour consultation, education on home theater equipment, layout, options and a bid, - he bought all his equipment online last weekend and found someone to install it for $350. Projector, 7.1 speakers, screen, all wiring and connections.
FML..
This is exactly how I handle this every time:
I laugh as they tell me that.
Then say "Sir, there is NO way that was a professional that installed that".
"Just because your speakers make noise, there is color on the screen, and lights blink; does not mean anything was done correctly".
"Is there a bunch of wires visible everywhere?"
"Did you see him use a bunch of different test equipment to adjust everything?"
"Did he program a control interface for you, that is easy to use - anyone in the house could use without instruction?"
"Keep my number sir". "And if you ever want me to come re-install everything properly, so you can get your money's worth out of the equipment - I'll be glad to give you a quote".
