Hi, thanks for putting this on. I just have one comment- in the "day in the life of a translator" segment, the visual was unclear- like unreadable unclear. I kept changing size of the display expecting it to clear up but it never did. Not sure what the situation was there but it wasn't worth watching what Massimilian was doing if I couldn't see it. Perhaps it had to do with so many people streaming it at once or a crummy connection on my end, not sure. Again, thanks for putting it on.
but, i won' starve since this is not my only income source

Somebody once told me it's not a good idea to start you offer with your price. Since I tend to start to talk about the deadline, and only then start to talk about the price.

In my experience I don't remember offensive offers, low in the worst case

of course, the deadline is crucial to set the price!

I also once read that people tend to pay more if you break up a total bill in smaller parts. Then they see lower figures, and are more tempted to accept the outcome.

In in ideal world, translators should have access to the material first and a deadline specified before making a price decision

I also think that those strategies don't work with purchase managers.

Well, I always ask to see the material before I commit myself.
