I think by 'buyer's market' it's inferred there isn't as much capital to go around so customers are much choosier who and why they pick a designer although like many folks stated in your other thread, often times this is based on $, while designers are caught in bid-wars with each other, the buyers have wider selection and pay much less than they would've say 3 years ago.

I know exactly what's inferred but my point is have you taken a closer look at your other choices.
I will apply this to my field which is at this point and time all galleries, there are a number of really talented people on this board who can design their asses off...and then there are some value designers who it's clear their only advantage is money....so still the pool of available good gallery designers is smaller than what is perceived...so while the client still has choices if they want to make money then they need to take a closer look at those choices and decide what's more improtant..the 1 time cost of the product or it's return on that 1 time investment.
