joey hv has made a very good point. This is a very cash sensitive business, sometimes easy to enter without realizing the venture is under-capitalized. Many have stuck their toes in the water to later find it is not what it's cracked up to be. It's not very romantic blowing fiberglass out of a chopper gun, or welding at 2:00 AM in the morning, attempting to meet a deadline. As in any business, if the return on investment is not what is needed or expected by the owners then they are certainly entitled to (as is any business) to rethink how they can present their product and turn an expected profit. They do it for a living, it is not a hobby to them therefore they cannot be asked to do it for less than what they expect or need to survive or flourish, they too have families that depend on them. Give them an opportunity to retink their position and then consider there wares, otherwise move on. Be grateful they had the good business practices to not accept deposits and vanish as has happened in the past with other companies or individuals. It's been reported on this site in the past.
