sure he isn't underbidding.
What? You don't want the lowest price? You gotta be kidding me!
Actually in the long run I DO want the lowest price and by making sure the sub is going to make a few bucks it insures he'll do a good job.
I've seen it before when a sub underbids and starts getting upset that he's going to lose his shirt. They generally speed things up and in the process the quality goes downhill at a rate depending on how much he is going to lose in the process.
The trick to both gaining quality work and helping a newcomer out in the process is to make damned good and sure that he comes out well because if he feels he is doing well he will probably give you his best.
We're not talking about some dopey kid here, but up and coming aspiring professionals.
One other thing, a lunch here and there thrown their way is casting one's bread on the water. Occasionally the ducks eat it and swim off but more often than not I get back poached eggs on toast.
