Ask HN: My client wants to resell the project, how do I handle this?
Hey fellows, just got an email from my client that he showed off the software I built him and another person was so impressed with it that he wants to have that as well + some additional work.<p>Context about the project: It&#x27;s a small application to managed some service flows from submission to handling logistics and creating offers and invoices. Really barebones, but nice UX. Code is not perfect and sometimes when I add a feature I do have to refactor a bit because I wanted to hit the ground running.<p>The project was a fixed price project and I estimated WAAAAAY too low for it so in the end I got 7k for around 200h of work (and still continuing as I need to add some features to fulfill the scope). My hourly rate at that point was 80€&#x2F;h and I wasn&#x27;t booked to the brim.<p>Now I have way too much work that pays a bit more than that but I&#x27;m in the dilemma of<p>a) not wanting it to be resold for the price he paid but the actual price in the end (his IP so he can have it all)<p>b) not wanting to have additional work at my previous pricepoint. I kinda also feel that since he as a business sold it to another business it&#x27;s almost already enterprisey in the pricing and I can afford to raise my prices high (similar to how agencies cost 200+&#x2F;h)<p>c) building a feature for any party that the other party wants as well<p>Any tips, recommendations or anecdotes are appreciated, I&#x27;m a bit paralyzed by that to be honest and couldn&#x27;t do anything this day but I&#x27;ll be able to answer any further questions that may need to be answered
