Well, there are people charging $100/h around here — do you think they are scammers because there are others that charge $10/h?

You literally can set arbitrary price to your time and at worst there won't be anyone willing to pay it.

There's a difference between setting a price in good faith that you think the market is going to accept, and setting a "f u" price that you think no reasonable person should accept.

There is no such thing as "one reasonable price". You may value your time arbitrarily high and don't need explanation for that, and there may be someone that value money arbitrarily low and has literally random reason to hire you.

This checks as long you give your rate/price upfront. This would be a scam if you DO the work and THEN charge non-market rate/price.
