How IT gets done

I've been active on RentACoder.com some time ago, was both a coder and a buyer couple of times. I had good impressions generally, but my problem was that sellers (coders) from developing countries like India and China were so bloody cheap so that it really did not pay for me to turn my PC on. No, I don't think I have overestimated my hourly rate, those guys ARE really too cheap. (They are really good, too, by the way).
I posted a project to RAC - I need some graphics job done. I received a dozen bids within the hour, and picked a seller from Pakistan. Has very good ratings, and I hope the job will be done quickly and perfectly. Honestly he bid 1/5th of the price that it would cost me if I wanted the job done here. Not to mention, every pro seems to be very busy at the moment, I had the feeling they are doing me a favor by accepting a PAID job. Funny, really. So what I can say is if you have anything IT related and want a quick solution, go for RAC.
