For coding things I'm definitely thankful and appreciative for the work and the time spent. When we ran into our first code that we needed to get made that was beyond our knowledge, we tried here out of curiosity.

I got one interested person, and they didn't have time to do it, or didn't seem interested too much. No strike against the coders here, but I think we had something pretty complicated and we needed someone with a fair amount of experience, perhaps multi types of code or years of experience. Not knowing how to create the code ourselves, obviously we have no gauge for really how complicated it was.

We spent $700 on the code we purchased. But again, I think the price was reflective of the complexity and the code pretty much came out as we wanted.

With all the add-ons here it's amazing that I don't think of this place as a coders place. I think of it as a modification community only, my thought process doesn't extend to coding experts. Even though it probably does have some great coders here, and obviously since there are many great add ons and code changes. I guess mentality what I think when dealing with coding is, "go to a coding website" lolz.

If I use a coder I'll probably stick with guru.com or rentacoder looks good to but have not used.

Our experience on guru was great, I got 4 estimates from 300 to 1000, we didn't take the lowest price or the highest obviously. They use escrow so we basically put all the money in the pot and the deal was to release it in 4 increments at checkpoints of completion that we predetermined. I think it took a total of 2 weeks to complete the code, but we used a company that houses several employees so they probably weren't only working on our project. We did have 30 of them helping at one point for a completion test, but that took 10 minutes or so.

I dunno, I felt really comfortable with escrow, I think it's the best way to go. I like half down and half on completion but references of work done is huge. If you haven't done anything it's better to wait for payment until it's complete.

As far as the issue of scamming, I only post requests that I really want. So I'm certainly not a scammer. At the same time if you've done a bunch of work in the past I don't know if I agree with the concept of not doing half down and half on delivery as that ensures the coder that the buyer is serious and that you will get paid.

Paypal can work with disputes and guru can as well.

Upon completion we gave feedback ratings based upon our experience with the coder. It was generally good, but the timeline took longer than it should so we gave like a 4/5 stars. As some days of that 2 weeks they didn't even work on it.

Yeah, that's all I have to say.
