Actually to be honest, i think some people were even charging north of 1000 for an integration. I wish i didn't just format my harddrive or i'd have the chat history. I remember integrations costing as much as a design from one of the best designers in the industry.
Paying a designer for creativity and a highly converting design is one thing, paying somebody for the grunt work of slicing code and pasting it in the tpl files, well, not worth it. Anyone who knows css/html can integrate a design. They dont even need to be able to make nice tours or designs, as long as they know code, they can do it. So the competition should be very high but because few have took the bit of time to look into it (probably because so many people repeat its so hard), the costs remain higher than they should.
I have paid 250-300 dollars for every integration of mine. Couple days work, for somebody outside of the US, which is most people since we work online (worldwide web), thats very good pay.
If that freelancer has his calendar full, thats a huge income for an overseas designer. Then you could say, well yeah if he had his calendar full, then that comes down to, should somebody charge more because they aren't good enough business people to fill up their calendar?
