I submitted to a company for a 6 page paper and I got a quote back saying it will cost $350. Is this the normal rate?

Me again!
Most companies charge wildly varying prices for work.
(I'm sure someone will contradict me now but..)
The cost (by majority) reflects the quality of work and service.
I'm sure I've just opened the floodgates though!
Best,
PeterParker

That seems a bit high but you really don't include enough information to judge the price. Additional information that would impact the price include:
-The Deadline that you gave (how long they have to work on it)
-The level of difficulty (PhD level?)
-The number of sources required (if you wanted a 6 page paper and 30 references, for example, sure expect to pay more)
-The subject area - is this economics or math, requiring calculations and/or analysis?
We're in the middle of busy season. I know I'm swamped and I imagine a lot of folks are in the same boat. Prices may reflect the timing as well.
For the best price, always try to give a minimum of a week on your project and be reasonable about the number of citations (ie, keep citations = or < the number of pages).

Hi there... Just a quick survey. Do you intend to submit this paper that you ordered as it is or are you planning to just use it as a source and list it in your reference page? Thanks. ^_^

Thank you for your frank response. Hmm... so if a particular company tells you that you're not allowed to use their paper as your turn-in paper, would you still buy from them? :)

It is a much lower price. Curious as to why the person would not be allowed to use the writing as a turn in.

Exactly what do you mean by this? Are you saying that $20/page is cheap?
Calmncollect: Curious as to why the person would not be allowed to use the writing as a turn in.
Well, some people here claim that genuine American essay writing services do not allow customers to turn in papers as is because it constitutes academic fraud (i.e., cheating). I say that if this was the case, then there's no point to buying from such companies. What do you think?

Calm, EW is just trying to pull you into an ongoing feud that can be found in bits on pretty much all of the currently active threads. If you're American or seeking an American company, this information might be helpful to you as you navigate the industry.
Most American companies are required by law to not support cheating by their student populations. Therefore, American companies will tell you not to turn in their product as your own work. American companies typically also won't do a title page for the student. So, if you call an American company and ask if you can cheat using their work, the answer will be no.
Now, do companies accept that some students will still turn in the papers? The answer is yes, backed up by research, that as much as 2-5% of students still turn in the papers as their own. It's a risk within the industry that all companies accept. It's not like American companies track the use of the essay or will knock on your door if you think about cheating with it. Like any other industry, what you do with it after purchase is up to you.
EW wants to claim that the companies that he works for are serving a different population of students b/c his companies aren't based in the US and therefore tell students to use their papers to cheat. I tend to think that's a flimsy argument, but it's his. What he doesn't tell you is that his companies lie to their consumers by claiming to employ English and American writers, when in fact they do not. You can decide if you want to deal with that yourself.
As for pricing, your original question. I'd say that low 20's is a fair standard price per page of an undergraduate level paper with no extraneous or strange requirements. $30 or so for graduate level. Those tend to be industry standards, with variation caused by some of the factors that I discussed above.
Now, those include the fee that a company charges in addition to the payment given to the writer. I have, at times, thought about striking out on my own; if I did, I expect I'd lower the prices a bit since I wouldn't have to give some % of the money to the company. So, if you can find and want to work with just a single writer, not a whole company, then you can expect the prices to be a bit lower. Again, such an option contains risks for both you and the writer.
The price that you stated is really pretty high. I've noticed that some companies follow no real rhyme or reason on their prices. For example, at essaybay, the writers bid their price and then the company adds a set fee on top of that, which can lead to very high prices from what I've seen. I just checked their site to make sure that my info is accurate, and here's one example, a 5 page paper order where the lowest bid is $60.00 per page:
http://www.essaybay.com/00730/essays/Law/What-light-do-Dworkin-and-Waldron% 27s-arguments-on-constitutional-adjudication-based-on-a-bill-of-rights-thro w-upon-the-legitimacy-of-judicial-activism-in-Australia%3F-
Even urgent, that seems high to me. Course, some folks like that company and that doesn't happen in every case, so again, it's consumer choice. If consumers are really paying $60 per page, then I definitely need to increase my rates hehe.
I've been thinking about your question a bit since yesterday. I think it's probable that your high price is a combination of the subject matter and timing. Right now, it's really busy. I have an upper level degree in a hard science, which isn't true of a lot of writers. As a result, I get my pick of health/science projects, which can get numerous. It's possible that the high price is just a function of the high demand placed upon the writer's time. When I don't really want a job but have it offered to me, I'll tend to bid higher than normal in order to make it worth my time. That may have happened to you with your quote.
In the end, whatever you do, I would still advise you to purchase from a company that is based in the country where you reside, whenever possible. That way, at least you have some legal recourse if things go sour.

Wow.. thank you. It's not often that someone acknowledges that I'm not the one picking fights here.
Anyway, I apologize for contributing to the derailment of your thread. Let me make it up to you by contributing a bit to your concern. As a writer for essaybay, I'd probably charge you $12/page for your paper if it is in a field that I can handle. So that's about $72 + $25 (essaybay's commission) = $97.
So I guess $350 is pretty steep.

That's not fair... I'm very open with that fact. I'm not American.. so there. ^_^

Pheelyks,
While I am inching my way closer to having the ability to contact you through private message, until then I will keep trying to get your attention and hopefully contacted me. Even if you tend to shoot me a quick email and I will reply with an explanation of what exactly I am looking for, with just some basic details and you can let me know if it is a possibility or not.
Thank you very much.

WSaban: It's a tiny bit suspicious to post twice just to be able to message someone. Especially for a two year old thread.
heynanners: so how much could I expect a 20 page legal research paper to run me with a legit company/writer?
It varies. How MUCH research? I might charge $30 if it required extensive case law study! If it was some pretty minimal research, I might go as low as $10-15. Is that 20 double or single spaced pages, 12 point Roman font, etc.? I know that it's absurd to ask, but I've had people clarify that, yes, they meant single spaced, substantially into contract negotiation. Etc.
