A good un Shaun.
Well Curries they want £95 + parts!!!!! Me, depends which way the winds blowing but nothing like £95+.
Not only do you have to take the reliability factor in account, the price of the TV, then I ask myself is it a 'Pound shop telly', a Super market telly, middle of the road telly or a 'Good un'.... and the customer! Yes the customer, had people saying here use this for spares when all it wanted was a capacitor or two or you would hear "Scrap this furrus mate, it's just a fuse thingy".
It can be confusing when judging customers, there's the repair at any cost customer, there's them what take three months to decide and those that wants it repaired but don't want to spend a penny... usually you quote 2 pence or 2 cents too much of what they expecting they throw a rage.
Best bet is get a 'duffer' take it round and ask for rough quotes with some excuse, "Er, I'll see what the missus says, I'll bring it back morn" or at least get some else to go for you.
One thing you don't want are 'bouncers', with back lights you ain't lying when you tell them it's a SCREEN problem, the first thing they think is..... 'Oh, dear', if they don't see jackpot and flashing lights they will probably ask...... "How much will it cost?"
