Why would you quote ridiculous prices to get rid of customers? When they go elsewhere and are quoted a 'normal' amount, they will only look back and think you are a ripoff merchant. Disgruntled customers WILL tell their friends.
"Don't go to XYZ! they tried to charge me 3 times what ABC did!"
If you don't want the work, tell them you are too busy and can't get it done in time, at least you keep your credibility, and they may just come back.
