I think I underbid a job. $30

I will be repairing 2 broken panes in an apt. window.

Until now I thought I was just going to replace the broken glass.

But a saw that the divider between the 2 pieces got knocked out.

It looked fairly straight.

Can that be re-positioned back in place and then add the 2 glass panes?

Yah, you just f***ed yourself good.
I don't know a single tradesman (plumber/electrician/HVAC) that will pull in my driveway for less than $120.

Even if he's going low, I agree, he's really, really low. And who pays for materials? You have to price the job not for the best case scenario, where it all goes perfectly and takes, one trip, half an hour, but to cover the cases where it turns out otherwise.

I estimated that materials, namely 2 very small pieces of un-tempered glass and glazing compound to be under $10 IF that was all that was required.

Labor to replace the glass at about 30 minutes.

Yah, and there's transportation costs, various insurances, taxes, permits etc. There's a lot of welfare democrats that need to be fed so pay your fair share of taxes.
