It's not an issue of fairness. It's an issue of demand and being able to fill that demand. If you can do it, great! The fact that you created it means that you know it best and you would be the logical frontline in this endeavour. I just didn't see too much interest in your part. I take my site quite seriously, and as such, I take the projects I bid out quite seriously (else I wouldn't be willing to pay).

Yes, I'm serious about paying. But this largely depends upon independent cost. And that depends upon how much others are willing to chip in. I would need to see more interest from other contributors first, or at least know what you expect for a script like this. I won't bear the burdon of a large cost myself in this situation, if I know that there are others out there fighting for the job at a substantially lower rate.

Perhaps, to get started, how about this... Let's say you hosted the script on your site, and offered it to be downloaded for those who purchased the script? What would this cost be to each of your customers? You know that there is definitely an interest here. This isn't a one-time shot.

I would highly recommend seeing if such a scenerio is feasible as it is the most beneficial to all parties. It allows you to make much MORE money releasing it like this (as opposed to what a bid contract would allow) and it allows for many clients to get a copy of it.

If you did it just as a "bid contract" sort, it would mean that it was a customized product sale. And you wouldn't be able to sell it to others. While you could charge MORE for your work this way, it's a 1 shot deal, thus, getting far less income from it in the long run.

I don't use MSN. I'm quite serious about the project. Once you decide how you want to go with this venture, you can post here or send a pm here. Or even visit me at my site: www.onlinedebate.net if you like. Once we can agree on some of the basics, then I have no problem making time to "sit down" using a chat system to finalize the details.
