Even if he charged $50 an hour, which in todays trades is quite reasonable, he would effectively only be making $16.70 an hour once you factor in an hour to get there and then onto the next job! And for 12 sheets, he is just pricing it high so that if he gets it, great, but it is more or less not worth his time in the end for a small piddly (to him!) job like that.
But I would say it was agood call not to go with him. $1500 would have been more reasonable to me... Unless he supplied all materials in his original quote

he wouldnt even do it for 1500 if I supplied the materials
