Redditor quoted absurd $11,000 labor fee for $4,000 PC build — bemused customer questions $6,300 labor, $4,700 pre-project labor, and $4,000 cancellation fee

A Redditor was quoted an $11,000 labor fee for a $3,849 PC build, leading to a total cost of nearly $15,000. The invoice included charges for four weeks of labor to build the PC, which many found excessive. Additionally, there were charges for three weeks of pre-production labor and inflated prices for individual parts. The situation sparked accusations of scamming and raised questions about the value of boutique PC builders compared to mainstream options.
