I do LAMP, front-end (JS, HTML5/CSS3), server admin, performance optimization, project planning / product dev, security consulting, SEO, and whatever else a client will pay me to do.
Typical rate is $75/h. I also do project quotes that work out to be more or less. Through BidOnMyDay I've been working for less but meeting some great people (shameless plug):
I'm US based. Currently a nomad living in hostels, hotels, and couch surfing.
I DGAF if people know what I make. I've never understood apprehension with discussing income. If you have coworkers it could make sense but this is for freelancers. Also, if you think a freelancer makes RATE * FULL TIME HOURS you've never been one.
The most successful consultants I know charge ~80% of max(RATE), and bill 40-60 hours per week working for a few clients. They have a very good income compared to people who concentrate on trying to make max(RATE), and to people who work full-time jobs.
The consultants who make the best living also have a spouse who works and provides health benefits.

Love the funkiness of your idea/site....do wonder what's the average bid...though...:-)
I may add a stats / balance sheet page w/ full transparency when I have the time. It's low on my list though, too many other things to add first.
