Your price was too high from the beginning. 2. Your price is too high from the beginning. Thanks. jack112 Joined on Thu, Jul 22 2004 Regular Member 715 Tenses, Present Tenses, Past Tenses

Your price was too high from the beginning. 2. Your price is too high from the beginning. Present tense sounds odd here. You need some form of past tense. You might consider 'Your price has been too high from the beginning'.
