I think that a lot of offshore designers are now trying to get much higher prices, and I do think that there are a lot of people who don't realize what the going rates were.

Somebody posted not long ago what a "great deal" they were getting paying 50 euro for a simple TGP gallery that should have cost 1/5 of that.

With all the competition (and with the US economy in the crapper) program owners -- or anyone with the money to hire anyone -- can negotiate hard on prices of practically everything. But a lot of people either don't realize that or aren't comfortable doing so.
