Should HB freelance for these Israelis?

[heavenlyboy34]

Freelance proposal looks like this:

Fixed price: $170 - $250

Digital Image Editing

Posted: Oct 02, 2015

Webnology, Israel

Hi all We need to remove the background from 120 images, and replace it with solid grey (#999). The job required: - Remove the background completely and accurately, and refine edges if needed - Place a grey (#999) background instead IMPORTANT: - Specify how fast you can deliver at least 50 of the 120 pictures (preferably by Tuesday). - Attach a portfolio in Artly format (www.artly.me) - Reply to this post with the word "Health", so I know you have read the description More details: My client sells medical equipment online. He has a bunch of new products to upload to his website, but the pictures came with wrong backgrounds, thus we need to get them removed. The equipment is mostly simple objects. Around 70% are boxes of different sizes. But there are maybe 5 tricky pictures, please take this into consideration. Bonus: By the end of the year he should get another 520 products, if we work well together - expect to get more orders from us.

Pretty basic stuff. I can use the FRNs. I just don't know anything about this company, so...not sure if it's a good idea. Opine if you would.

[JohnCollins]

Yes. Why would you not?

[TheTexan]

Yes, and if you help Israel you know its for a good cause

[heavenlyboy34]

Yes. Why would you not?

As I said, I'm not familiar with this particular company, so IDK if they do unsavory shenannigans.

[HVACTech]

take the cost of your materials and double it.
then add 15% for a "fudge factor" is my advice.

this is completely inline with Hofstattlers rule.

[navy-vet]

I suggest shopping around some and comparing.

Well you can rest easy then. Israelis certainly wouldn't ever engage in 'unsavory shenanigans'

Pretty sure the same is true in every country, and even if they are involved in that stuff, that's their problem, not yours. So long as you get paid and you're not breaking any laws, it's a good idea.

HB should look the other way?

AND move out of his grandparents basement?

My standard addition is 17 % .

[HVACTech]

yes, good advice.

and also why I voted for Amy.
bless her heart.

Moving out of the basement is worth it, means he can start bringing chicks back.

[r3volution 3.0]

Yes, but if the images have the twin towers in the background, from a never before seen angle, you must save the originals and post them here.

[luctor-et-emergo]

Amy is a good girl..

And yes, take the jerb.

Exactly although there are plenty of situations where the rule doesn't work. Very labor intense processes or very expensive materials.

What is freelacing, exactly? Is that like tatting or crocheting? Or is it something you do with a spoon, a lighter and some kind of white powder?

My grandparents are all dead now but thanks for bringing that up. :P

[Sola_Fide]

Yes. Why would you not?

Jews?

[heavenlyboy34]

Jews?

lol

[TheTexan]

Jews?

Indeed. I would even go as far as to say that the OP is racist and anti-semitic for even suggesting that a company might not be good to do business with just because its in Israel.

Because THAT is what I would call 'unsavory shenannigans', HB34

true that,
a customer of mine had a roof leak on a frozen food warehouse.
ever seen a 20 foot stalactite?
I hired 2 college kids to fix that. ($600)
another customer wants an exact replacement Trane ECM motor.
MY cost for just the motor and "driver" $800.

but it is still good to let guys know how to bid things.
thanks for posting.

To be on safer side, ask them to confirm in writing that their profits are not being used to occupy, persecute or attack innocent children, women or men. And that the top management firmly believes that no race is more chosen than the other.

you question what Oyarde does with his "profits"

[JohnCollins]

Oyarde has not been engaged in unsavory shenanigans...at least since 1998.

HB should plow all the profits from his homosexual prostitution into junk bonds.

[heavenlyboy34]

I don't get all that much money from pimping you, but I'll consider this suggestion.

[TheTexan]

Homosexual prostitutes don't make good money though. I don't think they do it for the money, actually.

I guess junk bonds would be right choice.
