May be these developers are able to re-package their pre-existing code in couple of hours? Then these $200 are turned into $100/hour which looks like a reasonab

  That's very likely. It's also possible the jobs are easy enough that they just do it in fewer hours. I was once offered a $3000 contract (at $20/hour) for a project that amounted to stringing together a few generic views and writing a python wrapper around some C++ code. The job didn't work out for various reasons (I offered to build on spec, they wanted a low hourly rate). If I were telecommuting, I could have spent a day or two building it, wait 2 weeks before delivering it, and pocket $3000 for a days work.
