I have given 1000's of quotes and I've always tried to be consistent. While I might have been tempted to pack the price because of the neighborhood, the house or the cars, you never know who they know. I gave a price a few times to people who told me later that I had worked for their friend or relative. Since a lot of products I installed were basically the same, charging a higher price in a better neighborhood would have been embarrassing and I wouldn't have gotten the job.

What's more, is that roughly 50% of my business was referral, so the word travels. And the worst is working in tracts of similar homes or condos where you better have the same price for the same work.
