- _delirium 11y agoIf $300-500/hr rates are the bottom, then yes. :) It's not really new, though; competitive bids have been around forever. Many government contracts even legally require them, as a way of attempting to combat corruption.
- sarciszewski 11y agoApologies, I've not gone down the government contract route yet (and I'm not in a hurry to travel that road either) so I misread the context as corporations doing a reverse-auction among competing clients.
