Mine is simple, recent, and not all that bad. I don't do a lot (ie. any) freelance, so here is how it went...

- friend of former coworker: I need a small site. I heard you're good.
- Okay. how's this.
- perfect. Amazing. How much do you want.
- I ask around, and request a VERY conservative 500 for my work. (Lowest suggested.)
- Uh, we were thinking 250.
- Frick. I should have discussed rates BEFORE I gave the coded work. Don't cheat me. Gimme 375.
- Okay.

My own fault to a degree, but also the fact that they were cheap.

I fire lousy customers. So far all my clients had been ok because I give them a Money Back Guarantee and only collect the other 50% of the payment when I get them the Top 10 ranking within 6 months.
