You can definitely get that amount for freelancing PHP in the states.

To clarify, for the `.buy-button` class, is that where one should put super-specific styles like `margin-left: 12px`? Also, is there a good place I can learn these kind of things? I'm a programmer trying to get better at CSS (SCSS now that we've setup the asset pipeline)—so far I've been reading random A List Apart and The Sass Way articles, but I feel like I could use a more holistic, in-depth understanding of CSS i…
I would take a look at BEM. It's methodology and set of naming conventions to help write better, more modular and reusable CSS. It can take a while to get used to, and to get it right, but once you do it's a lifesaver. I can't imagine doing front-end dev without it now http://csswizardry.com/2013/01/mindbemding-getting-your-head... http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2012/04/16/a-new-front-end-m...
I would be very interested to hear more about the user Listnerd http://www.listnerd.com/Listnerd#lists and how Listnerd has created 492,988 lists and received 3,072,466 votes!
Why would I want to do this?
Visually it's pretty ugly, but concept and functionality seem very sound. I liked it against my will, so just give it a makeover and you've likely got a winner.
What's the breakdown for $200k on a site like that? Can you tell us what's the tech stack?

In Norway a dev starts at $100k a year; or you can pay roughly $250 an hour for freelancers. Labour laws in Norway are very strict, which means hiring someone is a big step. When we first started the project we didn't really foresee how big of a task it would end up as, so we went with outsourcing. If I had to do it again, I probably would have hired one in-house dev.

Would also love to know where the money went specifically. Seems insane (also do you need another website built for 200k?)
Already answered this, but I'll comment because you bothered to. Sure :) We're basicly two founders that have done most of the design and project management of the site. In addition, we've outsourced some design and all of the programming to Ukraine, including the mobile version. The outsourced development itself runs into the 100k's over the stretch of 1.5 years, and in addition, we've done some marketing (40-50k) a…
If the project was too expensive, blame also the founders , which may have asked for a MVP bigger then the necessary.

Probably related to the "web scrapers" they spent some of that 200k on.
