I suspect the author of this question may have been confused by the
question page (as presented below). Maybe s/he wanted a price for a
ticket, and thought the "set a price" was asking how much s/he wanted
to spend.

Given that the asking the question cost 2/3 the price of the ticket,
it wouldn't make sense to post wanting the best price. The only other
possible justification would be if the travel was urgent and most
flights were booked out that day. However, it can be assumed from the
reply that plenty of flights are available.

As such, I believe that my hypothesis may well be valid.


Enter your question below  
Subject: Enter the topic of your question for our researchers (e.g.
"Hiking in New Mexico").
  
Question: The more details you provide, the better the results you'll
receive. How to ask a great question.
  
Price: Set a price between $2.00 and $200.00. How do I price my
question?

I agree that if someone had enough web smarts to post a question on GA
then they probably did not mean to offer $200 for flight information. 
Perhaps they entered 2-0-0 and thought they were setting the price at
$2.
Maybe the asker will comment on their intentions?
