$5000 for 2 set of stairs, 2 landings & 4 bedrooms. Both of my staircases have 'pie wedges' so that's a lot of cutting. That's carpet with no pattern. Pattern will cost more to match. Mills are dying for work as are installers, you can do better.
I think I paid too much. Whatever you do, get the best pad you can, but make sure it is the right pad for the carpet. The wrong pad can cause wear patterns to develop quickly.
I don't look at haggling as being cheap, you're giving someone business they need. But never say that.

Morticia, I guest it all depends on the quality but that sounds like a lot of carpet for all those rooms. And stairs, landings, too! $5,000 doesn't actually sound like a bad price at all.
Chances are, though, that today you could get much better quality than whatever you got then for much less.
Folks need the cash flow. They don't want to keep hanging onto inventory that's only going down in value. Their workers need the jobs.
Every penny helps them right now.
