EDIT: Oh, and, next time negotiate your price beforehand. Only suckers wait til after the job and then ask 'how much'.

I live 3 minutes from the Home Depot. You're probably right about their thought process though. I had already made up my mind what I was going to pay them before I even picked them up. Just wanted to see how fair they were. They failed that test.
