i hate to admit but i have tomadscientist said:Hi Deadpoet,
You again. I did not say it is high either. Unfortunately, I am not getting a single cent out from this. If I did give a low budget, you can say I am squeezing them. I did not, instead, I asked them to quote the lowest possible for them. Unless that person loves to squeeze himself till he's out of breath or he's so desperate for jobs till he don't mind making losses, I don't think anyone would quote me a price which he don't make a single cent. Anyhow, I am not the only one who uses such a system for jobs, the government uses that too. So please stop complaining at whatever you can complain at.
Yes, this is a very challenge kids' party shoot. The kids run at bullet train speed and above. So, please bring tons of fast-recycling strobes and sets of cameras as the requirement is roughly the same as capturing an image of a bullet going through an apple.
I don't think anyone would like to call themself bottom organisms of the food chain except for you. We are humans, we are all equals. Please spare a thought for people around you before you attach such degrading terms on them.
Just a suggestion: Why not quote me $1.00 and screw the shoot up on that day?
everyone is looking for quotes... at my place, we pay millions of $$$ for scientific equipment
but we must still ask for quotes... from a number of companies and pick the cheapest one which meet our requirement
even for cheaper stuff like tens of thousands, we still must take a number of quotes
even for lagi cheaper stuff like hundreds, we still must take a number of quotes...
so i guess you are right... you have all the rights to take quotes from a number of photographers and choose one whom is suitable for the job
of cos i must say, choose wisely and pay wisely... you cant pay $100 and expect it work like a $1 000 000 equipment

congrats that you found the right guy for the job
