I was browsing through the forums, wasn't logged in but when I saw the threadstarter's post on the prices, I realised I HAD TO. The level of carrot is too **** high! Bro, you should not only dump the person who gave you this quote. You should far k this person left right centre before tearing up the quotation in his/her face.

For what you need to do, about $30K will do.
