Good day,

What would be a good price for getting this question answered:
http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=424313 ?

Is google answers the wrong place to ask this question?
Or would you say that the category is wrong?

I just want an opinion.

Best regards,
riet-ga

Hi riet, 

Thanks for accepting my suggestion as your Answer!  To make it
official, here it is...

I'll venture a guess.  For someone to *maybe, eventually* take notice
and decide to attempt it, no less than $20.  For $50 it would get
locked within a day or two at most, IF the people qualified to Answer
SEE it.

Dear Riet, 

Some of our Researchers could probably answer that question, but I
have to agree with you that the pricing is not very attractive.
Researchers receive 75% of any question's price (that's $4.5 in that
case). Answering that question is likely to take some Research work
and definitely more than an hour. In other words, sticking to that
price, you're limiting yourself only the department we're considering
developing in cooperation with a major athletic-shoes manufacturer,
where 10 year old children will work for a $2/a day. Now, I can't
guarentee that any of those kids has such an interest in hardware.

Here's a pricing guide, to help you price your question:

Dear cynthia-ga and politicalguru-ga,

I asked for an opinion, and you gave it. I also find your
comments worth $2.00. Either of you, please feel free to post
the comment as an answer. I'll be happy with that as an asnwer.

Kind regards,
Riet
