Weirdly that isn't how it works most of the time. I owned a construction company and the more money the client had the harder/longer it took to get paid.

Wouldn't work in auctions. In construction we would add 10% to the bid. If they paid with in 7 days of completion of job they got a 10% discount or what it would normally cost. If I had to wait they paid a 10% fee after 7 days. This was a must for wealthy people and Churches. Almost all poor people tried to pay before you even finished the job in my 20+ years of real life experience.

I figured this was more about a forum member not paying for something. Nice to see I was wrong.
