Cut out the offensiveness before this thread gets closed, which would be a shame.
I don't feel designers/skinners/whatever you want to call them charge too much, they charge depending on the amount of work that's involved in each specific project. I wouldn't charge $100 to someone for a design as high quality as WiredGamers for example, it's just not practical, do the math. You're working many many hours to design, developer and deliver a skin and should charge accordingly.
Back to original, there's quite a few vB designers around, you just have to know where to look for them.
