I did some car pricing ones last year as they are all right next to each other and are a 5 minute walk from my house. Did three visits in the morning and then went back the next weekend to do three follow-ups. Got about £100 for the three but wouldn't bother again. It takes quite a bit of time, especially if someone if buying a car when you're there and you have to wait 45 minutes for them to finish!

Just wondering what the biggest extra fee is you've negotiated to complete a job for a company?

Mine was £18 for an airport job...probably small fry compared to some of you guys!

From top of head £50 on top of normal for a pizza , flight costs for airside airport visits, quite a bit more like rental Vehicle and fuel for other audit stuff, you don't ask you don't get these are exceptions rather than the norm however

MF need to have a word with themselves about the pizza jobs. It's cheaper to eat at the place with the numerous vouchers sent out weekly than get 'paid' by MF, not be able to use and vouchers and still have to be write a report when I get home!

Car visits... Did a circuit for Bare once. enquiring about £50-60k cars while rolling up in my ford focus? Must have been a lottery win....would only consider them again if finding other work got really really sparse.

Yep and despite this in my area they fly off the shelf.

Haven't been doing too many assignments lately as just too busy in the day job but had a nice run of things yesterday.


Does anyone know if you can buy gift cards in main catalyst shop?

I don't think you can, even though the battery requirement has been removed

Not as far as I am aware. But you can get a gift receipt and 'whoever you give it' to can return it for what they really want.

No you can't get a gift voucher as it has to be a purchase to make up the main components of the scenario. The only thing I'd say about gift receipts is just to make sure you get a proper one too as they don't always give you both.
