After desperately trying to find local consultants to do $75K gig, we hired remote Indian person who did it for ~$13K. The delivered quality and timing exceeded our expectations.

And honestly it changed the way i used to view remote offshore consultants.

Did you consider remote, on-shore resources? Perhaps work-at-home folks, or those working remotely from other US cities? I ask because I've run into people who would otherwise normally insist that their domestic resources be local and in-house, but then would end up off-shoring stuff instead. WTF?

I absolutely did and will. Local are often preferred.
