I am offering $30 ($US) for building me a very high-detail M60A1 tank with interior.
Note that I would be expecting alot of detail - the main control joysticks and steering wheel would have to move, the both ends of the periscopes would have to move, guns would have opening breeches and the recoil motion of firing, etc., as well as the usual moving parts of the Poser format - turret and cupola rotating, elevating guns, engine grill opening, hatches opening and so forth. However, I wouldn't be concerned about an accurate camoflauge pattern - as long as the weathered metal parts are effectively textured (eg blackening around the exhaust - it need not be elaborate texturing here either - but I would be expecting good texturing for the interior).
Thank you.

cripes! Modelling, Texturing AND Rigging for $30? For that price you probably won;t even be able to afford the concept sketches.
Oh and shouldn;t this and the following post, (Subject: who here can make me this bodymesh for like $50?) which is also underpriced IMO, be in the Jobs/Resume' forum?

You might as well PAY attention, because you can't afford FREE speech

Evidently this is not a forum for people who delight in their 3d modelling. Yes, I know from experience it is a long, slow, hard job. I, personally, would accept this job if someone was offering it at that price. My time is, however, lacking.
I didn't mention in my post, however, that there are two fully-rigged, textured, high-detailed WW2 tanks, with interiors, at Vanishing Point, currently selling for $13.00 and $22.50 respectively. And many more fully-rigged Poser tanks without interiors, running between $12 - $30.

But that is for selling more than one copy. You are asking for a one copy sale at $30. I am guessing maybe ten cents an hour total work at the most.

Right, and someday some content creator may in fact make such an item, on their own schedule and to thier own specs, and place them for sale on a site with the expectations (hope?) of making back the value of their time and work and possibly even a small profit, as is the case with the tank models on Vanishing Point.
You posted this in the Marketplace forum so we assumed you were advertising for professional 3D model work (or at least I did) for which you are asking for a specific item, made to your specificartions and on your schedule. If you want to purchase a professional custom made item, you need to be prepared to pay a professional for their time and the time taken away from other commercial endevors. Obviously it;s not valuable enough to you to disrupt your schedule or to pay a reaonable price for someone to drop what they are doing and do the work for you.
If what you are doing is making a suggestion for an item you would like to see someone enter into their product pipeline, or even looking for an up and coming modeller to do as a training project then put this in the Wishing Well Forum. However you will then be subject to the creator's specifications and schedule.
Seriously, best of luck.
