or should we? There are a lot of design-forums that has a no-policy on pricing-discussions but I never given it a second thought. But on the HOW-forum I came across this quote:

anyone know anything about this? discuss

Here is a good article on why you cant discuss pricing:http://www.hwg.org/resources/faqs/priceFAQ.html

The U.S. law specifically makes discussion of pricing between competitors (all or some) a federal offense. According to either Marshall Kragen or Lewis Rose (both practicing lawyers), several brokers in DC were successfully prosecuted for simply discussing an increase of fees at a dinner meeting.

When, where, or how doesn't matter. Any discussion of pricing by a group of people within the same industry is illegal in the U.S. The feds call it price fixing.

Seems a bit over the top if its just young designers trying to figure out what the standard rates are for freelance design but I guess we better play it safe and not discuss pricing at all.

So please do not discuss pricing =)
