As a company that has been extensively involved in ebits, I can tell
you that you pretty much have to ignore the prices, because the devil
is in the details.  We have landed numerous ebids where we weren't the
lowest bidder (and even when we were the highest) because of things
like the customer had repeated problems with one of the vendors,
payment terms, they didn't believe the bid, etc.

GetACoder and GetAFreelancer (I think that's it) are full of garbage
quotes.  At a seminar we attended at FreeMarkets.com, they admitted
that the goal of ebids isn't really to place the work with someone new
but to beat down your existing vendor's price, even a litle.
