I know, I know. I've been doing contract work for so long, and for some reason I didn't follow my own rules when I accepted this job.

I mostly accepted it because I was at a low point financially plus I was looking to expand my list of finished games. I wrote a full multi-player Chess game including member sign-up screens for a measly $950. It's actually quite embarrassing really.

Of course, the second game is only quoted at $850 and the changes he just asked for are at least double the effort of the original quote.

I know I low-balled these jobs big time. Chess should have been $3000+ and Dominoes should have been $2500. But like I said, when I quoted them, I needed the money.

NCD,

If you are interested, I have a client who needs 9 games written. The first will be Dominoes. Just be warned, he likes programmers who work for peanuts and who will jump through flaming hoops. He also tends to change his mind on a spec frequently. But if you want the money bad enough, I'll pass your info along when I give him the boot.
