It is quite clear that the OP could have done a google search and generated the results you provided in about 5 minutes.
It is. But he didn't do the search, indicating that a) his time is more valuable invested in another endeavour and thus he pays for it, or b) he's too lazy.
I assume it is a).
Furthermore, the list you provided appears to be somewhat inaccurate.
What part of what
I said is inaccurate?
From a value perspective, you have not produced anything close to worth $50 or $75. Any reasonable person would feel ashamed to demand $75 for a google search when it is quite clear the OP wanted something that involved at least a couple of hours of effort.
If I assume his time is valuable (as I did) $50 is not outrageous at all to offload a 15-30 min task, as this was originally (note 0.5 not 0.7). On my winter job as a ski systems technician I charge USD 300-500 hourly rates, and countless times have I offloaded work for a lot more than his bounty, sometimes even the full amount I get paid.
A lot more unreasonable and really something to be ashamed as you say, is to ask for a full dead-serious market research for the 0.7, less than $100 bucks for something probably upwards of 3-5k... Walmart should open a marketing department imho..
From a value perspective, one of the two options is a lot more crazy than the other.. honestly, which one is it?
I would recommend that if you are so concerned about collecting a bounty that you are willing to call someone a scammer that you should first establish a more detailed and objective criteria. Without a meeting of the minds there is no contract and thus no room to call anyone a scammer
I would recommend that you re-read my posts paying some more attention.
Not once did I express concern for collecting a bounty, nor did I ever call him a scammer.
I still think and mantain what I said: what he did was deceptive, and made him look sleazy. I'm sorry, but it's true.
Charles has a history of paying bounties. If you think he isn't offering enough, then say so and negotiate a price. You have no more right to be the sole judge of meeting the customers demands than those curb-side window washers that demand payment after washing your windows.
I am saying so... and you are the one who out of the blue positioned yourself in the middle of this... maybe in a
judgey kind of way?
I understand you vouch for Charles. I am merely pointing out what I myself consider to be faulty behavior, specially from someone who aspires to educate people.
