Looks like an excellent add-on.

Why is this priced so outrageously different than your other products? The price makes me want to code one from scratch instead.

It was a custom job for a client. I charged them more than listed here and is a very low volume product sale wise. Very few people will buy it. For the price and for the hours I spent is a great deal,, I don't think you could find anyone to could it for less than the price here even people overseas...

I wish people understood that goes into building programs, It's not like they can be put together in five minutes, then there's all the research, If your no good at images like me you have to pay to have them built.

I Log thousands of hours on some projects the one I'm upgrading at the min has a 2 year life span with all the help files etc I have to built but that's more a labour of love.

@Mickjav

My questions was completely valid. Remember, this is being sold to the public, not to a single individual. I know a lot of time goes into building an app, thus I don't need to be lectured by you or anyone alike on that matter.

@SMFHacks

Thanks for your response.
