Because it's your cost of doing business. Because if you want
a chance to bid on my project, that's what you're going to do.
Because, assuming I get three bids to keep it honest, threr's a
snowball's chance in hell that I'm gonna pay 3 companies just to tell
me their prices.
BTW, I don't buy catalogs either. Yes, I know they cost money
to print, etc. A company that wants me to look at theirs, will GIVE
me theirs.
