Default Pay for ones mistakes?

If you find out that you've made a mistake in costing something and have already submitted that costing to a customer/client. Is it o.k. to admit the mistake and submit a new quote or should one bite the bullet and pay for your mistake.

You can also say to your customer: Hey I made a mistake so don't expect next time to pay the same, but you get this time the lower price.
This shows that you keep your promises and is good for word of mouth and customer retention.

I think you should admit the mistake, make amends as best as possible, and move on. Good luck w/ this situation.

Brutha, I agree with you. After making a firm quote I would deliver the product for the quoted cost.
