So - in other words - he charges what he thinks he can get away with, until you show him that you know what the correct price is. I think the term is "con man".

I used to find exactly the same thing with insurance companies in England. When it came time for the annual renewal, I'd check around until I found a lower quote. When I told the original company that I wouldn't be renewing, I'd get a phone call asking why. When I replied that I'd got a lower quote,they'd immediately say "we'll do it for that price". My reply was "then why didn't you offer it to me for that price originally? Go :fu: yourself" It's a pity more folk don't do it to this con man.
