Heard the same thing from a buddy who sells on Fiverr, and his buyers skim hard too. He moved his price into the first line so people saw it and left if it was too much, and his real inquiries actually went up. Sounds like a clean first line that names their problem and the price beats burying it halfway down.

Greenboard in a shower is a gut punch when you're the one telling the buyer, sorry you had to be the bad guy there.

Does pulling the screen first count as being cheap or smart? I've definitely been the guy who threw a part at it before checking the easy stuff, and my wallet still brings it up at parties. Checking the screen takes two minutes and a bucket of vinegar, which beats eating the cost of a part that was fine all along.
