No, she was too pissed off. This was pre Covid. I priced out the materials and it would have been about $4,000 plus labor.
I believe Home Depot floated a price expecting resistance and got none. My parents kept AOL for nine years after switching to Comcast. My dad traded in a paid off car that would have wholesaled for $14,000 on a leased car and accepted $4,500 because he “didn’t know how leases work” and was happy with the payments they quoted. I can go on for hours how they’ve been taken by salespeople. I really wish I lived closer.
I took my mother with when I was buying furniture for my first house and she couldn’t believe I asked for a discount off list price, free delivery and set up, etc. I saved almost $5,000 and thought I could have done better. When we walked out she was worried the salesperson was upset.
