Posting this under the heading it deserves: Pricing far outside the range, in either direction Everything below is what sits behind that.

A question about pricing far outside the range that I think has a definite answer, unlike most of what I ask here.

I have the reasoning below and I am fairly confident about the direction. I am not confident about the size, and the size is what the decision turns on.

a.cardoso, post #2: Thank you — that answers what I came here to find out. Go to post

On post #3 — agreed on the reasoning, with one qualification.

Testimonials without a lot, a date, a method or a service are not evidence and are not a red flag either. They are simply not evidence.

Sensible. I would want the same detail before I acted on it either.
