The issue I was addressing was the clients who want the equivalent of
amazon.com for under $5,000 ... and if you have not run across one of
these, you have been under a rock.

Prices quoted were for business contracts, not little mom and pop shops
(which don't pay anything and have a tendency to think the kid down the
road could do it anyway).

I have done the majority of my work for corporations. Bothering with a
site under 5k is usually a complete waste of time. 

Don't work cheap people, they think you are cheap.
