I also don't like the 99 Designs model, where a bunch of people design, and only one gets paid. Don't agree with it. Not saying it's immoral or wrong, but I wouldn't do it.
FWIW.

Thanks, Hitch. Fun reading as always.
I will be looking for a print cover version as well, so I will be expecting some additional cost.
I noted to someone else that these $50 offers you see (ebook only) might only pay for somewhere around an hour's work (not that I know what rates they actually look for) which seems - to me - to be very under priced, and so rather dubious. (Mind you, as covers for short stories, the cheap but professional option is probably a better path than the cheap but amateur alternative that I pulled for my current shorts - I don't think they are doing me any favours.)
And I definitely want to work with someone specific, I'm not really a crowd person. My problem being to narrow the choices down.
At the moment I'm mostly window shopping, getting an idea what's out there and what will be involved.
