I agree 100% credits were fun, then a cash price but we knew ahead oftime and in my business the bids ranged from $5.00 to $8.00. Then came this new blind bidding, we'll let you know after a client contacts you. First time I was contacted what a surprise $38.07 on a job that would have brought in $250.00 and I didn't get the job so I know someone else paid the same price, probably more then one other, to me that is exceedingly greedy from before and a hell of a price hike.. That has been the last bid I've made, I always click pass, then other and say when you go back to the old ways, or at least let us see the cost I will not be doing business. I picked up an average of 4 jobs a month, so thumbtack isn't a big part of my income, but when it was reasonable I'd spend $60.00 or so a month and had about a 50% booking ratio, figure ten to twelve bids that would cost me now somewhere around $456.00 a month, or about $400.00 more than I was spending before. Anyway Thumbtack people let me know when you'll let us see the costs again, then I'll decide if it's worth it.
