I agree with a previous post that these things never seem to result in actual work, at least not a lot of work.

I have a deal with my major foreclosure client of a fee of $95 per search no matter what I find. Sometimes I feel I'm not getting enough for a particular job but many times I am getting overpaid. It all works out in the end and he is perhaps the only client that I have who pays regularly. I would rather charge for a particular search but he is quoting his clients a price and if I want his work I have to do the same.

I would say take a look at your previous work, figure out the average price of 25 year searches you have done in the past and use that as your quote. If they are telling the truth, which these days is not a given, they probably have to stick to a price and you will lose the work if you can't give them a set price.
