A landscaper bid a price so high that the customer decided that he didn't need the work done. When asked about the high price, the landscaper justified it by how good the yard would look when he was done. He considered himself an artist and not a landscaper, so he expected to be paid more than an ordinary landscaper. If it looked good, then it was worth and exorbitant price. Your customer wants the finished product to look good, but won't have much tolerance for your ego.
