I'm in the NE corner of CT. Houses are cheap here compared to the rest of the state or towards Boston. At the other corner of the state there is a house for sale for $190,000,000.
If I moved my house 50 miles, it would at least double, another few miles would quadruple it. My property taxes are $2600.

A good philosophy.
Yup. You get what you get. And you pay what others are willing to pay for it (since it goes to the highest bidder).
So, the same house (what you get) would go up four fold, simply by putting it in a neighborhood that has more people bidding for it.
That's why whenever someone says you get what you pay for, I go ballistic, because you get what you get. You *pay* what others are willing to pay for it. And, those others may not be nearly as smart as you are.
Back on topic, it seems that in some parts of the country, a plumber can be had for about $100 for the visit, and then another $75 per hour for the work. Parts prices are roughly double what you'd pay for them on the open market.
So the fact that the original poster in the other thread paid $50 in toto for a complete kitchen sink snake job, doesn't seem to fit the established datapoints all that well.
My cousin and I could give you a real good price for moving your house.
