I got one of the 50% off reviews for the starter package, and here are my thoughts on it. To preface this, I've also bought a bunch of Squidoo lenses, and have always been very happy with the properties. Everything is unique and indexed super quick, and that trend continues with this new package.
Speed: He completed the package in about 2 days, which is what he stated and is plenty fast for me.
Communication: We didn't really have any conversation other than me giving him my keywords and him confirming it, but he's always responded quickly, so I imagine if you had something you needed to talk with him about you could get that taken care of quickly.
Price: I'm happy with the price, and will buy more even at $30. You can certainly get cheaper properties, but the quality is gonna suffer like crazy. I think this package strikes a nice price:quality ratio.
Quality: Properties look great like usual. Key things:
-All properties had a relevant image.
-He varies the URL (eg. url.zimbo), which is great for lessening a footprint.
-He spins the titles, although I would like to see a bit more spun (eg two different titles spun at the word level, rather than just 1 spun at word). Not a big deal though.
-In addition to the different URLs, he also uses different usernames (again, lessening footprint).
-Articles are fairly readable, although not spun super heavily from my skimming of them. They should be spun enough to get the job done, though, or at least I would imagine so.
Overall Review:
I like this package, and will be ordering more for my sites. It provides a higher tier of quality than most web 2.0 providers, at what is still a reasonable price. Good stuff.
The next order is coming soon!
