Actually yes you're right. I used to price somewhere in the median/average. I think i worded it wrong. By lower i meant lower than one's potential or worth or the going rate, if that made sense.

But once i had a couple of portfolio pieces, i bid around the top 5% percentile and now usually much higher on these marketplaces. It gets me the right client who're appreciative and i get to focus on them without worrying about the hours*rate all day long.
