I've used both scriptlance and elance and found the same to be true for both.
1. If they say they understand what you want - they don't
2. If they say they can get it done in a week - they can't
3. The most expensive coders can be just as bad as the cheaper ones
4. Use someone that lives close to you and speaks your language as a FIRST language so you can call and talk them through until they 'get it!'

I have a large project thats had 4 highly recommended programers/programing teams ... - STILL only 90% complete after a year *sigh*
