I’ve had the pleasure of asking software companies if they off-shored or on-shored. When they say they do, and you know we already knew the answer, I’ve cut my offer to 1/4 the asking price by claiming if they can pay 1/4 to make the product then I only need to pay 1/4 to buy the product.
Of course, I never had any intention of buying the product.
