Sort of like Leon from Curb Your Enthusiasm showing up to make sure people aren't taken advantage of financially when they're getting work done on their house/car/etc.

- Mandatum 5y agoYou’re still doing the negotiation, they just tell you what to say and what to ask for - advice unique to your situation.
- lastofthemojito 5y agoIIRC the lesson there seemed to be "you get what you pay for". Everyone was initially happy with the cheaper "solution" that Leon negotiated, but in every case it blew up and became a costlier problem in the end. Each homeowner would have been better off if they'd just done the initial expensive thing rather than eke out a deal. Of course, we're talking about a fictional TV show, so your real-world mileage may vary.
- micromacrofoot 5y agoIn my experience it’s not really worth negotiating a service price when quality can make a big difference… maybe it’s a coincidence, but the couple times I’ve done it for house construction work I ended up having problems with the results buying a car or getting a hotel room? not much harm can be done there
