How to get a quote without commitment?

Hi all

There is a javascript web programming project which I am thinking of commissioning. However this will depend on how much the project will cost.

In order to get an idea of how much the project will cost I need to post on freelancer. I see two problems with this:

- Firstly I am asking vendors to quote on a project which may never happen; and
- Even if it does go ahead it is likely to only go ahead about 1-2 months after we have an idea of costs.

Is it okay to post in this way? Should I only be posting for jobs which are ready to go ahead? If so, how can I possibly evaluate the cost/benefit of a project without getting an idea of how much it will cost first?

I would be very interested to hear your thoughts.

Thanks

Vic

Asking for a price quote is pretty common business practice.....

Can not believe that anyone would require a "prospect" to accept a bid....
