It makes me laugh when I get PMs off users asking me for a quote to code a design, I specify my rates and then they come back with.. "sorry I'm not looking to pay that much" or "I can get it done for $10"... Like, seriously, if you're looking for a ten year old to do your work, go for it, maybe they'll do an amazing job... and maybe they won't. The fact of the matter is, they nor you understand the concepts of time and self worth.
Maybe I should start adding, if you're thinking of under $xxx amount don't even bother. And then defer them to the nearest cheap as chips coder?
What do you think?

I'll tell you the way not to get clients: Post about how potential clients are cheap to you when they don't want to or even can't pay $xxx amount of money. How about instead, kindly say, thank you for considering me and if you happen to need my help in the future let me know. Good example of poor business ethic right here. Say what you want, but you know it's true.
