Charged a client 3x my normal rate by accident and they paid it last Tuesday

I messed up a proposal for a local bakery in Austin. Meant to put $500 for a 3 month SEO package, but I typed $1500 by mistake. Sent it, realized my error, and panicked. Then the owner replied saying 'great deal' and paid in full that afternoon. Did I just discover a new pricing strategy or did I get lucky? Has anyone else had a billing oops turn into a win?

Great deal" on a $1500 typo? That bakery owner must have been really desperate.

@michaeld48 I've paid more than that for my own typos and I wasn't even selling anything!

Totally agree with you @michaeld48, that's insane. I once saw a store sell a "playstation" for $50 and it was literally just a photo of one printed on cardboard.
