<p>That's ridiculous. We all have our line in the sand. Mine is a lot higher than that. The day I have to start taking work for $3.00 a page is the day I go back to waitressing. </p>

<p>Cynthia, I see you're in Bakersfield, CA, and I consider that SoCal. As such, that is very low, considering SoCal firms generally charge more for the O & 1 as a result of the SoCal stip. I would not take the job at that rate -- or any job, for that matter -- particularly since it probably has a 99.9% of being an O & 1 only.</p>

<p>I would say it depends on your area. In Chicago where we have no O/1, the taking attorney receives an Original only, $2.50 is high for the Original to the reporter. Attorneys in Chicago, when using local Chicago agencies, are charged what <em>reporters</em> make in other venues for that original. Chicago has some of the lowest reporter rates in the country. One of the many reasons I mainly work for out-of-state agencies exclusively.</p>

<p>Be aware that the prevailing price for copy sales to the atty is $2.50/page. You should be getting 70% or 60% or minimum of 50% of that. Don't let yourself get cheated on that. </p>

<p>So it's your share, not what the atty is being charged. $3/page is low. Since my rates haven't changed in many years, I would not have taken it. I certainly hope there'll be a few copy sales. And I'm sure it's 2-week delivery. </p>
<p>Don't cave as far as anything else, including rough or rush delivery. </p>

<p>This is for the O & 1. I've been reporting for 16 years. I have never taken a job for $2.50 pp. This is unbelievable. It is for a local reporter owned agency. I said I couldn't go any lower than $3 pp. They called me back and accepted. I still feel like I got the wrong end of the deal. </p>

<p>If you're talking about O&1 with 2-week delivery, it's maybe 30-year-ago rates.</p>
<p>If you're talking copy sale, it's about right.</p>
<p>And I'm talking about what the attorneys pay, not what the CR gets.</p>
