It always makes me happy when a customer likes the work so much that they overpay. Its happened a couple of times now, where we've gotten another 50% of the job as a tip. Treat your customers with respect, charge what your time is worth, and work well and efficiently and you won't have problems. Pricing yourselves into obscurity in the negative sense is just bad business.

Simple law of supply and demand and different levels on the buyer market. I'm not worried about the guys charging $100 for a design. If they were any good they'd get swamped before they knew what hit them, meaning they'd start raising prices fairly fast.
The simple fact that they have to put the low price in their board advertisments asking for work tells me the exact opposite. If they actually knew how to sell themselves, then they'd know how to create selling designs too. But they don't know either. Whenever their designs actually convert it's because of either luck, the client doing a lot of good pre-selling, or both. But it's definitely not due to their skills at creating well-converting designs.
