Hello jokerq -
I have discovered one source that has the answers to all four of these questions,
in addition to other questions along these lines. It would be at a
consulting rate of $450/hour. Would you be interested in this
resource as an answer to your question?
Thanks

require ? does this source also include world wide numbers and
information on what the commercial printers are buying ?

The information above would definitely be well within the 1 hour. I
am not sure on whether the international or the other data would be
available exactly, but the rep did say, in effect, that the data is
not limited to the 4 questions you asked.
The representative is out of the office today, so I will try and
contact them tomorrow to see definitively.
Thanks,

I actually just heard back from the actual person who would be working
with you (not the rep I originally talked with). As a correction: The
$450 would be for information on the 4 questions you asked only. They
have international data available, but it would be much more
expensive, and not nearly as detailed.
Please let me know if I should post this as an answer. If you'd like,
you can lower your list price to $85.

your encrypted communication makes it impossible to understand what
you are talking about.
here are some clear questions to answer ;
1) how much will it cost to answer the questions ?
2) what is the $ 450 per hour for ?
if you are interested in answering these questions in a clear way then
maybe we can hire you to do the work...

jokerq -
I apologize, my actual clarification of what is going on got erased.
The reason it did is because you left personal contact information in
one of your messages to me, and so both postings were removed by the
editors (personal contact information is not allowed on the site).
Here is the scoop:
There are 2 fees here. The first is the fee you're paying Google
Answers for your question. Currently it's $100 (the price you set it
at). I said you could lower it to $85 if you want. You can do that
by clicking on the Edit Question Parameters button. As an answer to
your $85 question, I'm going to provide you with the contact
information to an analyst firm that will supply you the information
for the 4 questions you've asked. You would then contact them, and
they will supply you the answers to your 4 questions at the rate of
$450. (It's technically $450/hour, but there's only 1 hour involved).
So there's 2 fees: Your $85 question to Google, and $450 to the
analyst firm. Does this all make sense now? I apologize for the
confusion.

Hi jokerq -
Any word on this? I'd actually be willing to lower from $85 to $70
for your Google Answers fee. Please let me know.
Thanks,
