I just responded to a CL ad in Hawaii....
http://honolulu.craigslist.org/o…web design (anywhere):
Web designer for ad agency
submit your complete resume, samples of your work,. and recent salaries---------------------------
I post my information of experience and link to portfolio website with samples of my work. I also created a brief pricelist to show what I am looking for.

send samples of your work, and can u compete with offshore pricing ty Elaine Cohen for DLRMe:
Tell me what kind of pricing you are expecting and I will let you know if that is acceptable to me. If its going to take 10 complete websites to pay for my monthly living expenses... Then no, I cant match offshore pricing. If you are expecting $5/hr pay rate for web design, then good luck in Mumbai....The term offshore pricing is very vague. What is it you are looking for exactly?

lol take a pill to aid ur confused state of mind.DLR is our CEO, and is extremely busy. Offshore pricing is what we get from India, Manilla etc,If any of you want to lay into this guy/girl and educate them... please do. I hate it when people expect well under minimun wage for design work.

You want us to educate someone who uses lol, ur, u, ty and 'take a pill' in their professional correspondence?
- monNom0
best response would be:
No.
Can you afford to do this project twice when the lowest bidder can't deliver?

Ignore this twit and move on to something respectable. Toothbrushes to toilet bowls should be appropriate.

Haha now im just having some fun... I got 3 back to back replies...
Reply 1: ur atttitude sux, and we do not need you or want anyhing to do with you.
Elaine cohenReply 2: lol u r stupid
Reply 3: get lost you are stupid
Me:
Hello Elaine,Thank you for the reply. I will get lost as I don’t think a professional working relationship would work between us. I prefer to work with clients that are more professional that don’t use shortened slang spellings such as Ur, Sux, u (instead of "you"), r (instead of "are"), lol, etc...
Maybe that kind of mumbo jumbo flies down in Mumbai or Manila but not with me.
Thank you for your time.

You should drag it out as long as possible. Read up on David Thorne's emails to get an idea of how to really make it last. This could be really funny. Be sure to create any necessary charts/graphs to make your point. Stay golden, tanpopo
