GraphxNMore 282 Posted August 19, 2014 Sounds like a competitor getting your prices. Notice how they say "full color", and also get dimensions right down to the hundredth of an inch? I guarantee it's not a legit customer. Worst case it's someone that's trying to negotiate, but I lean toward competitor. Why such a broad spectrum of items?

djque 246 Posted August 19, 2014 yup that's not just a regular person to walk in and come up with the exact measurement. most say : color not full color most say : doubled sided not front and back etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spunky.Fresh.Designs 11 Posted August 19, 2014 I agree with everyone else. To the point size on those flags? someone's snooping Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HDN 95 Posted August 19, 2014 Sounds like they are price checking. Send back an estimate for one hundred thousand dollars. When they question you tell them it was more realistic then their request. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
