This bloke got a bargain

25 meters gutters in and out clean, with fascias and soffits to match, then windows, frames, sills front door. I know what I thought was a fair price, custard accepted, was due to do the job tomorow, rang to advise timing, he says "too late mate, someone came round did it [the whole lot] for £60", "beat you to it" he said. £60 undercut me by quite a lot. slightly annoyed at that to say the least. Git.

It wouldn't bug me that he got a lower price.  It would bug me that he didn't have the common courtesy to make contact with me so that I could avoid a wasted journey.

Tells me that the customer is only worried about price, so not really I customer I would lose sleep over.
all the new starters seem to get all the price shoppers then dump them or get dumped when undercut again.
