Awesome site! The guys at work and I are having a laugh. :D
On the topic of bootlegged PS version: I should mention, anyone looking to get a legit copy I suggest watching eBay for them. You can usually find complete suites of CS3 or 4 (which are just as good) for pretty cheap. Adobe sometimes has upgrade deals as well, so you could get a pretty up-to-date version for MUCH less than retail prices.

what I do is ask my customers what the budget is and kind of requirement they have. if I have to vectorize anything then Id ask for more $. otherwise its exactly what my thread title says. photoshopper for hire. you want bunch of things put together and you dont know how then you hire me.
this exactly how I got into this mess in the first place. back in the day I emailed like 20 people to see if I can get someone to put something together for my cabinet but never got a reply. had to learn things from scratch.
I try to use very high resolution pictures and vector backgrounds. usually people are happy with the result. you are not paying for any of the source material, you are paying for the time and effort(and all that email reading) which is very very reasonable.
Ive done things for like $20 before lol.. (was fun..I dont mind)

This is an excellent rant and should not just be limited to artwork. The way I see it is someone is offering you a service and you should, as a "customer", be willing to do anything to help out who is providing this service for you and accept what they are charging for their work. Keep in mind there are people out there who are going to rip you off but with a little research you should be able to see if someone is truly ripping you off. And chances are the people on here are not doing this for a living. They are doing this in their spare time. Be patient with those who are willing to help you(which seems to be everyone) and with a little negotiation you should be able to walk away happy with what the person on the other end has to offer. And keep an open mind. You may not be able to do artwork, or have an extra 200 dollars laying around for said artwork, but may be a wiz at something else like wiring. Offer trade to the person willing to do artwork for you. As my father always says, "Communication. It's a beautiful thing."

One of the funniest things I hear from time to time is " I'm not sure what these things cost, but that seems too high"
