High Price Guarantee - I can't believe it's actually working!!!

So after the eye of Hurricane Irma passed over my town, I found myself in a position where I couldn't possibly keep up with the demand.  In the months following the storm, I was averaging between 200-300 RFQ's a day.  Of course, I'm sure most of you realize that skilled labor is always in short supply, and in an effort to operate my business as efficiently as possible, my schedule was full long before the hurricane hit.  I had no surplus capacity before the storm.  The storm didn't improve the labor shortage.  It made it worse.  Roughly 25% of the housing was destroyed and workers have been moving away as the cost of housing has skyrocketed and the wealthy are bidding against one-another for the limited supply.  This created an interesting opportunity.  With limited supply and virtually unlimited demand, I've decided to let homeowner's get three bids from the fly-by-night pop-up contractors and then I'll offer to do the job for 30% more then the highest price.  I'm pleasantly surprised by how successful it's been.  Most people are in disbelief when I tell them how it works.  But after talking to a few of the pop-up-contractors, they eventually call and asked to be put on my waiting list.  ;-)

How has this been after the storm subsided? can you still increase your prices or was it only a short term opportunity?
