That’s a really good prior art search at $10k, more like ~$2k for a reasonable job

Yes. It's the level of PA search you would do if you expected your patent to come up against a mega-entity like Google, Apple, Facebook, De Beers, etc.

If your patent applications are mainly to check the IP box for investors, it would be more like the $2K you suggest.
