I dont think this is a bad post at all, and was glad to see it here. We have been having this very discussion internally this week

Our last quote for a business card run was $1100. Far cry from '$50 and a google search'.

Peoples responses here about who to with (and who NOT to go with) have been very helpful.

Valid points - maybe it's just me then.

Out of curiosity, what did you get for $1100? I normally order a batch of 300 cards in full color for around $50.

Double sided, high gloss. 500 cards x 5 people. Still that estimate is wayyyyy to high. We are probably gonna spend half that quote, but that is why we are shopping around.

Yea. I know this isn't a typical post but I felt that it might be able to help some others out.

Doing a google search for that gives you too many garbage results so I'd prefer to hear the opinions of people I respect.

Given the number of responses I don't think it was too terrible of a post.
