No offense intended, and given the nature of online communities I'm sure you'll have some takers -- but in my professional experience an 'excellent programmer' can command $100 - $250/hr for their work, so unless you're talking a week's worth of work, tops, for an expert, with no other contractual terms available (percentage of back-end, specific criteria to be met for bonus, size of bonus, etc) I find your quote to be insultingly low.
Ultimately it's up to the individual coder if their time is really worth so little, but I don't know of a single experienced coder who'd take you up on this one.
Trying to salvage a bit of a positive criticism from my reaction -- perhaps you could post a spec that's a bit more specific so your prospectives can gauge for themselves the amount of work necessary.
