    Default DJ's getting even cheaper

    I took a booking for a 3 hour teenage birthday 3 days ago, quoting a sensible price for a wednesday evening.

    While waiting on the booking form to be completed by the client, i got an email saying that he was cancelling the booking, as the 'venue can supply a DJ for £10 per hour'

    I was getting more than that 20 years ago

    In my experience all "trades" are working for cheaper than they have in the past, times are hard, I have friends who are builders, sparks, plumbers and they are all going out "for wages".
    Quote a price and someone will undercut you, quaranteed. There are more sixty quid sids than ever and more people looking for the cheapest quote

    With our PAT testing company we find this also, we charge £1.60 per item and had a phone call from a client yesterday trying to beat a price she had been quoted of £0.40p an item!

    Trick is to be way more expensive and then just get the good ones

    Chances are the undercutters have no insurance no PAT test,don't pat tax etc. It's time some sort of licence came into force to stop these cowboys who only give the rest of us a bad name

    Yawn! I wouldn't have to work if I had a pound fro every time I've heard that old chestnut.

    They could of course be completely legitimate & just doing it for fun, like some of our members
